Answer:

The area of the triangle is equal to half of the base times the height: A = b x h x 1/2 You could find the area of a triangle with base length of 4 inches and height of 3 inches as follows: A = 4 inches x 3 inches x 1/2 = 6 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding height is the length of a perpendicular segment from the base to the vertex opposite of it. The opposite vertex is the vertex that is not an endpoint of the base.

What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (3, 1) and a directrix of y = 5?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the equation of the parabola with a focus of $(3,1)$ and directrix $y=5$ .

Considering the directrix, the quadratic graph must open downwards.

The equation of this parabola is given by the formula,

$(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)$ , where $(h,k)$ is the vertex of the parabola.

The axis of this parabola meets the directrix at $(3,5)$ .

Since the vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix,

$h=\frac{3+3}{2}=3$ and $k=\frac{5+1}{2}=3$ .

The equation of the parabola now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4p(y-3)$ .

Also $|p|$ is the distance between the vertex and the directrix.

$|p|=2$

This implies that $p=-2\:or\:2$ .

Since the parabola turns downwards,

$p=-2$ .

Our equation now becomes,

$(x-3)^2=4(-2)(y-3)$ .

$(x-3)^2=-8(y-3)$ .

We make y the subject to get,

$y=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

This is the same as

$f(x)=-\frac{1}{8}(x-3)^2+3)$ .

Osvoldo has a goal of getting at least 30% of his grams of carbohydrates each day from whole grains. Today, he ate 220 grams of

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Osvoldo did not meet his goal

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the percentage of carbohydrates that Osvoldo ate from grains with respect to the total, we simply have to divide the amount of carbohydrates he got with the grains by the total

55 / 220 = 0.25

then to express it as a percentage this number has to be multiplied by 100

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Osvoldo wanted to reach 30% and only got 25%

25% < 30%
