I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:
(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)
Solving for p, p=-1/16.
Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:
(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1
Here, we have two values of x
x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1
thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).
Answer:
C. 500 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.
2000 ÷ 4 = 500
He should travel <u>500 feet</u> in each descent.
Answer:
(Option B) StartFraction negative 4 Over 3 EndFraction x minus 7 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In geometry, the midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is equidistant from both endpoints, and it is the centroid both of the segment and of the endpoints. It bisects the segment.
