Find the whole quantity if 5 percent of it is 500

liq [111]

Answer:

10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

500/0.05= 10,000

You take the amount you are given divided by the decimal form of the percentage you are given to find the answer. It's a reverse from the way you find 5% of 10,000.

0.05=5%

Check your work: 10,000*5%= 500

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
