Which statements describe a parabola? Check all that apply. A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from the directrix a

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A parabola is the set of all points equidistant from the directrix and focus.

The line of symmetry intersects the focus and directrix

The line of symmetry and the directrix are perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point (focus) and a line (directrix).

The fixed line of a parabola is known as the directrix of the parabola.

The line of symmetry is a line that passes through the focus and is perpendicular to the directrix. The line of symmetry divides the parabola.

The directrix of a parabola does not intersect touch the parabola

Can somebody please help me with this problem please

Furkat [3]

Answer:

m = 3, n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using the substitution process. First, start with the second equation:

2m + 2n = 14

Simplify. Divide 2 from all terms within the equation. What you do to one side, you do to the other:

(2m + 2n)/2 = (14)/2

m + n = 7

Isolate the variable m. Subtract n from both sides:

m + n (-n) = 7 (-n)

m = 7 - n

Plug in 7 - n for m in the first equation:

-5m + 9n = 21

-5(7 - n) + 9n = 21

Solve. First, distribute -5 to all terms within the parenthesis:

(-35 + 5n) + 9n = 21

Simplify. Combine like terms:

-35 + (5n + 9n) = 21

-35 + 14n = 21

Isolate the variable, n. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 35 to both sides:

14n - 35 (+35) = 21 (+35)

14n = 21 + 35

14n = 56

Isolate the variable n. Divide 14 from both sides:

(14n)/14 = (56)/14

n = 56/14

n = 4

Plug in 4 to n in one of the equations, and solve for m.

2m + 2n = 14

2m + 2(4) = 14

2m + 8 = 14

Isolate the variable, m. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, subtract 8 from both sides:

2m + 8 (-8) = 14 (-8)

2m = 14 - 8

2m = 6

Divide 2 from both sides:

(2m)/2 = (6)/2

m = 6/2

m = 3

Your answers: m = 3, n = 4

Why is it important to check all solutions to radical equations?

aleksklad [387]

Hello.

The solutions found to radical equations are not necessarily viable. They sometimes result in inequalities, and have to be checked.

Hope I helped.

The measure of an inscribed circle of an angle is the measure of the intercepted arc

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

(the statement does not appear to be true)

Step-by-step explanation:

I don't think the statement is true, but you CAN compute the intercepted arc from the angle.

Note that BFDG is a convex quadrilateral, so its angles sum to 360. Since we know the inscribed circle touches the angle tangentially, angles BFD and BGD are both right angles, with a measure of 90 degrees.

Therefore, adding the angles together, we have:

alpha + 90 + 90 + <FDG = 360

Therefore, <FDG, the inscribed angle, is 180-alpha (ie, supplementary to alpha)
