The general form for a parabolic dish is:

y=x^2/(4f), where f=focus' y coordinate when x=0

So if you are given the equation:

8y=x^2, you need only to rearrange it to the form y=x^2/(4f)

y=x^2/8

Since 8=4f, f=2 inches  and the focal point of course (0,2)

Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

  D.  (x – 3)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want an equivalent to x^2 -6x = 8.

We can complete the square by adding the square of half the x-coefficient to both sides of the equation.

  x^2 -6x +(-6/2)^2 = 8 +(-6/2)^2

  (x -3)^2 = 17 . . . . simplify

HELLOOOOOooOOOOOooOOoooOOoo
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

6. Multiply 2 by 6

7. 71 + 9(8) = 71 + 72 = 143

8. 52 + 3(4) = 12 + 52 = 64

9. 19.25 + 2.75(7) = 19.25 + 19.25 = 38.50

10. 2(0.6)^2 + 4(0.6)(5) = 0.72 + 12 = 12.72

A lidless box is to be made using 2m^2 of cardboard find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard
Jlenok [28]
1.8, Problem 37: A lidless cardboard box is to be made with a volume of 4 m3 . Find the dimensions of the box that requires the least amount of cardboard. Solution: If the dimensions of our box are x, y, and z, then we’re seeking to minimize A(x, y, z) = xy + 2xz + 2yz subject to the constraint that xyz = 4. Our first step is to make the first function a function of just 2 variables. From xyz = 4, we see z = 4/xy, and if we substitute this into A(x, y, z), we obtain a new function A(x, y) = xy + 8/y + 8/x. Since we’re optimizing something, we want to calculate the critical points, which occur when Ax = Ay = 0 or either Ax or Ay is undefined. If Ax or Ay is undefined, then x = 0 or y = 0, which means xyz = 4 can’t hold. So, we calculate when Ax = 0 = Ay. Ax = y − 8/x2 = 0 and Ay = x − 8/y2 = 0. From these, we obtain x 2y = 8 = xy2 . This forces x = y = 2, which forces z = 1. Calculating second derivatives and applying the second derivative test, we see that (x, y) = (2, 2) is a local minimum for A(x, y). To show it’s an absolute minimum, first notice that A(x, y) is defined for all choices of x and y that are positive (if x and y are arbitrarily large, you can still make z REALLY small so that xyz = 4 still). Therefore, the domain is NOT a closed and bounded region (it’s neither closed nor bounded), so you can’t apply the Extreme Value Theorem. However, you can salvage something: observe what happens to A(x, y) as x → 0, as y → 0, as x → ∞, and y → ∞. In each of these cases, at least one of the variables must go to ∞, meaning that A(x, y) goes to ∞. Thus, moving away from (2, 2) forces A(x, y) to increase, and so (2, 2) is an absolute minimum for A(x, y).
