When you multipy 1.229 x 15 your answer is 18.435. Rounding to the nearest cent will only include 2 numbers after the decimal. Looking at 18.435, the last number, 5 will round your answer to 18.44
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The directrix is a vertical line, so the parabola is horizontal. The focus lies to the left of the directrix, so the parabola opens to the left.
For a left-opening parabola:
x = a(y-k)²+h,
a < 0,
vertex (h,k)
focal length p = 1/|4a|
focus (h-p, k)
directrix: x=h+p
Apply your data
focus (1,-4)
directrix x=2
vertex (1.5,-4).
focal length p = 0.5
a = -1/|4p| = -½
x = -½(y-2)²+ ½
Answer:
Rate of change = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
f(x) = -½(x + 2)² + 5
Required:
Average rate of change from x = -3 to x = 1
Solution:
Rate of change = 
Where,
a = -3,
f(a) = f(-3) = -½(-3 + 2)² + 5 = -½(-1)² + 5 = 4.5
b = 1,
f(b) = f(1) = -½(1 + 2)² + 5 = -½(9) + 5 = 0.5
Plug in the values into the formula:
Rate of change = 
Rate of change = 
Rate of change = -1
The answer is D. -24 - 49i/13
