<u>Answer:</u>

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Equation of parabola with focus at (0,-4) and directrix is y=4.

We know that parabola is the locus of all the points such that the distance from fixed point on the parabola to fixed line directrix is the same.

The parabola is opening downwards.

Let any point on parabola is (x,y).

Distance from focus(0,-4) to (x,y) = \sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-4))^2}=|y-4|

\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-+4)^2}=|y-4|

(x-0)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

(x)^2+(y+4)^2=(y-4)^2

x^2+(y^2+4y+4y+16)=y^2-4y-4y+16

x^2+y^2+8y+16=y^2-8y+16

x^2+16y^2=0

16y=-x^2

y=-\frac{1}{16} x^2

LA and B are vertical angles. If m_A = (5x + 5) and m_B = (4x + 29), then find the measure of_A.​
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

If A and B are vertical angles, then they are congruent, so their measures are equal.

This means

(5x + 5)º = (4x + 29)º

5x + 5 = 4x + 29

x = 24

Then angle A has measure (5*24 + 5)º = 125º.

A motorboat maintained a constant speed of 15 miles per hour related to water going 44 miles upstream then returning the total t
yanalaym [24]

The speed of the current is 13 mph

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

speed refers to distance travelled per unit time. This is a vector quantity this implies that it has magnitude and direction.

The unit for speed as used here is miles per hour and can be written in short form as mph

<u>Given data</u>

speed of boat = 15 miles per hour = 15 mph

distance = 44 miles upstream

total time for the trip = 7.5 hours

<h3>solving for the speed of the current</h3>

let the water current be x

speed = distance / time

the total travel time upstream and downstream is known

for upstream

15 - x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 - x

for downstream

15 + x = 44 / time

time = 44 / 15 + x

total time = time for upstream + time for downstream = 7.5

7.5 = (44 / 15 - x ) + ( 44 / 15 + x )

7.5 = ( 44 ( 15 + x ) + 44 ( 15 - x ) ) / ( 15 + x  )( 15 - x )

7.5 ( 15 + x  )( 15 - x ) = 210 +44x + 210 - 44x

7.5 ( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 420

( 225 - x ^ 2 ) = 56

169 = x ^ 2

x = sqrt ( 169 )

x = 13 miles per hour

hence speed of current is 13 miles per hour

How to do surface area
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the length and width, or c and b to find their area. Multiply this measurement by two to account for both sides. Add the three separate measurements together. Because surface area is the total area of all of the faces of an object, the final step is to add all of the individually calculated areas together.
