Step-by-step explanation:
If the parabola has the form
(vertex form)
then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

is located at the point (8, 6).
To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length <em>f</em>. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

where
is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length <em>f</em> is

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

Answer:
The index of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number. In this example: 82 = 8 × 8 = 64. The plural of index is indices. (Other names for index are exponent or power.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the solution based on the given situation above.
Given: 450 kg = weight limit of the elevator
750 kg = current weight of the group of passengers
? = number of passengers who weigh 70 kgs that need to get off the elevator
So to get the answer, first we need to deduct 450kg from 750 kgs to get the excess weight. So 750 - 450 is 300kgs. Next, we divide 300 by 70kgs to get the number of passengers that need to get off so 300/70 is 4.3. Therefore, there should be 4 passengers who weigh 70 kilograms that need to get off the elevator.
Answer:
parallel = same slope (-2x)
so it's y=-2x + b
let's find b by plugging in 1 for x and 3 for y (the coordinates)
3 = -2*1 + b
3 = -2 + b
5 = b
there you have it:
y = -2x +5
