A jumping spider's movement is modeled by a parabola. The spider makes a single jump from the origin and reaches a maximum heigh

t of 10 mm halfway across a horizontal
distance of 80 mm.
Part A: Write the equation of the parabola in standard form that models the spider's jump. Show your work. (4 points)
Part B: Identify the focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry of the parabola. (6 points)

A parabola is a mirror-symmetrical U-shape.

  • The equation of the parabola is \mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}
  • The focus is \mathbf{Focus = (80, -1760)}
  • The directrix is \mathbf{y = \frac{1}{640}}
  • The axis of the symmetry of parabola is: \mathbf{x = 80}

From the question, we have:

\mathbf{Vertex: (h,k) = (80,10)}

\mathbf{Origin: (x,y) = (0,0)}

The equation of a parabola is:

\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

Substitute the values of origin and vertex in \mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

\mathbf{0 = a(0 - 80)^2 + 10}

\mathbf{0 = a(- 80)^2 + 10}

\mathbf{0 = 6400a + 10}

Collect like terms

\mathbf{6400a =- 10}

Solve for a

\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{640}}

Substitute the values of a and the vertex in \mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}

\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}

The focus of a parabola is:

\mathbf{Focus = (h, \frac{k+1}{4a})}

Substitute the values of a and the vertex in \mathbf{Focus = (h, \frac{k+1}{4a})}

\mathbf{Focus = (80, \frac{10+1}{4 \times -\frac{1}{640}})}

\mathbf{Focus = (80, -\frac{11}{\frac{1}{160}})}

\mathbf{Focus = (80, -11\times 160)}

\mathbf{Focus = (80, -1760)}

The equation of the directrix is:

\mathbf{y = -a}

So, we have:

\mathbf{y = \frac{1}{640}} ----- the directrix

The axis of symmetry is:

\mathbf{x = -\frac{b}{2a}}

We have:

\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x - 80)^2 + 10}

Expand

\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}(x^2 -160x + 6400) +10}

Expand

\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}x^2 +\frac{1}{4}x - 10 +10}

\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{640}x^2 +\frac{1}{4}x }

A quadratic function is represented as:

\mathbf{y = ax^2 + bx + c}

So, we have:

\mathbf{a = -\frac{1}{640}}

\mathbf{b = \frac{1}{4}}

Recall that:

\mathbf{x = -\frac{b}{2a}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{x = -\frac{1/4}{2 \times -1/640}}

\mathbf{x = \frac{1/4}{1/320}}

This gives

\mathbf{x = \frac{320}{4}}

\mathbf{x = 80}

Hence, the axis of the symmetry of parabola is: \mathbf{x = 80}

12 times a number plus 26 greater than 6
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:I am a little confused by your wording but I am assuming the question is 12 times what is 26 greater than 6

The answer would be 2.66666666667 which sound incorrect but multiply by 12 and you get 32 and 6 + 26= 32

Graph the image of the given triangle, translated 4 units to the right and 5 units down.
Goryan [66]

Answer- Follow the attachment attached herewith.

Solution-

As we know if we are moving in left or right, we have to deal with the x - direction or x co-ordinate and if we are moving in up and down , we have to deal with y - direction or y co-ordinate .

If we are moving in right ,we have to add in x co-ordinate and if we are moving left we have subtract from x co-ordinate. Likewise, if we are moving up, we have to add in y co-ordinate and if we are moving down, then we have to subtract from y co-ordinate.

As given in the question, we have move the triangle 4 units right and 5 units down,

The co-ordinate of given triangles'

A = (-1,3)

B = (-5,-3)

C = (2,-1)

∴Then the new co-ordinate will be

A' = (-1+4 , 3-5) = (3,-2)

B' = (-5+4 , -3-5) = (-1,-8)

C' = (2+4 , -1-5) = (6,-6)
