Let's notice, the focus is at (5,0) and the directrix at x = -5.

keep in mind that there's a distance "p" from the vertex to either of those fellows, therefore, if the focus is at 5,0 and the directrix x = -5, the vertex is half-way between them, check the picture below.

notice the distance "p" there, now, is a horizontal parabola, opening to the right, meaning the value for "p" is positive, or just 5, thus

\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}})}
\\\\
(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
h=0\\
k=0\\
p=5
\end{cases}\implies (y-0)^2=4(5)(x-0)\implies y^2=20x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{y^2}{20}=x\implies \cfrac{1}{20}y^2=x

Which of the following are exterior angles ? Check all that Apply NEED ASAP
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

∠2 , ∠3 , ∠5 ,∠6  are exterior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Figure.

To find : Which of the following are exterior angles.

Solution : We have given a figure with angle 1 ,2, 3,4,5,6.

Exterior angle : An angle which lies outside the closed figure.

We can see ∠1 and ∠4 area lies in closed figure.

But all other angle ∠2 , ∠3 , ∠5 ,∠6  are lies outside so, these are the exterior angles.

Therefore, ∠2 , ∠3 , ∠5 ,∠6  are exterior angles

What is the answer to the equation 3(x+4.5)=36?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

x = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 4.5) = 36

3x + 13.5 = 36

3x = 36 - 13.5

3x = 22.5

x =  \frac{22.5}{3}

x = 7.5
