Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the law of cosines in ΔABC
b² = a² + c² - (2ac cosB) ← substitute in values
= 25² + 28² - (2 × 25 × 28 × cos36.9°)
= 625 + 784 - 1400 cos36.9°
= 1409 - 1400 cos36.9° ( Take the square root of both sides )
b = ≈ 17 ( nearest whole number )
Which parabola?
Equation of the parabola
y - y1 = 4p(x - x1)
The Vertex of the parabola given is (0, 0) because it does not have the values of x1 and y1.
Then Vertex = (0,0)
-Look for two values of y to the left and two points to the right.
You can choose the points that you which
x y
-3 y = -(-3)^2 = -9
-1 y = -(-1)^2 = -1
0 y = -(0)^2 = 0
1 y = -(1)^2 = -1
3 y = -(3)^2 = -9
