Answer:
AC = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have to draw the figure.
When the rectangle is folded A to C. we get a right triangle.
Here we have to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the side lenght of B.
The sides length of B is AC.
By the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
Therefore,
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Taking the square roots on both sides, we get
AC =
The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola
y = (x^2) /16 + x - 2
And you have three questions which require to find the focus, the vertex and the directrix of the parabola.
Note that it is a regular parabola (its symmetry axis is paralell to the y-axis).
1) Focus:
It is a point on the symmetry axis => x = the x-component of the vertex) at a distance equal to the distance between the directrix and the vertex).
In a regular parabola, the y - coordinate of the focus is p units from the y-coordinate of the focus, and p is equal to 1/(4a), where a is the coefficient that appears in this form of the parabola's equation: y = a(x - h)^2 + k (this is called the vertex form)
Then we will rearrange the standard form, (x^2)/16 + x - 2 fo find the vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k
What we need is to complete a square. You can follow these steps.
1) Extract common factor 1/16 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16x - 32]
2) Add (and subtract) the square of the half value of the coefficent ot the term on x =>
16/2 = 8 => add and subtract 8^2 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16 x + 8^2 - 32 - 8^2]
3) The three first terms inside the square brackets are a perfect square trinomial: =>
(1/16) [ (x+8)^2 - 32 - 64] = (1/16) [ (x+8)^2 - 96] =>
(1/16) [(x+8)^2 ] - 96/16 =>
(1/16) (x +8)^2 - 6
Which is now in the form a(x - h)^2 + k, where:
a = 1/16 , h = - 8, and k = -6
(h,k) is the vertex: h is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.
=> a = 1/16 => p =1/4a = 16/4 = 4
y-componente of the focus = -6 + 4 = -2
x-component of the focus = h = - 8
=> focus = (-8, -2)
2) Vertex
We found it above, vertex = (h,k) = (-8,-6)
3) Directrix
It is the line y = p units below the vertex = > y = -6 - 4 = -10
y = -10
The pattern is 4, 12, 36, 108, 324, 972, 2,916
4+8=12
12+24= 36
36+72= 108
108+216=324 .... and so on
Answer:
F
Step-by-step explanation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year,
then, solving our equation
I = 5500 × 0.06 × 2.5 = 825
I = $ 825.00
The simple interest accumulated
on a principal of $ 5,500.00
at a rate of 6% per year
for 2.5 years is $ 825.00.
