Answer:

The parabola is negative, with a vertex at (7, -7) and a line of symmetry at x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is set of all points in a plane which are an equal distance away from a given point (focus) and given line (directrix).

Let (x_0,y_0) be any point on the parabola.

Find an equation for the distance between (x_0,y_0) and the focus.  

Find an equation for the distance between (x_0,y_0) and directrix. Equate these two distance equations, simplify, and the simplified equation in x_0 and y_0 is equation of the parabola.

Distance between (x_0,y_0) and the focus (7, -11):

\sqrt{(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2}

Distance between (x_0,y_0) and the directrix, y = -3:

|y_0+3|

Equate the two distance expressions and simplify, making y_0 the subject:

\sqrt{(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2}=|y_0+3|

(x_0-7)^2+(y_0+11)^2=(y_0+3)^2

{x_0}^2-14x_0+49+{y_0}^2+22y_0+121={y_0}^2+6y_0+9

{x_0}^2-14x_0+16y_0+161=0

y_0=-\frac{1}{16} {x_0}^2+\frac{7}{8} x_0-\frac{161}{16}

This equation in (x_0,y_0) is true for all other values on the parabola so we can rewrite with (x, y)

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus (7, -11) and directrix is y = -3 is:

y=-\frac{1}{16} {x}^2+\frac{7}{8} x-\frac{161}{16}

⇒ y=-\frac{1}{16} (x-7)^2-7  (in vertex form)

So the parabola is negative, with a vertex at (7, -7) and a vertical line of symmetry at x = 7

Type the correct answer in the box.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The missing value of x is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Table:

  x     y

 3      10

__    20

The relation of x and y (x,y) is not a function.

Relation is function if it is one-to-one.

One-to-one means to different value of x to get different value of y.

If function is not a function then one value of x to get two different value of y.

For first value of x=3, y=10

For which value of x= ? , y=20

x must be 3

x=3 to get y=20

The missing value of x is 3 because same of x we get two different value of y.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP! I'M GIVING A LOT OF POINTS!
nikdorinn [45]
In this question you need to isolate j. First you multiply 11 on both sides to make 3 + j not a fraction anymore.

3 + j = 22.
Then you isolate j by subtracting 3 on both sides since you must cancel the 3's out to isolate j. Then you get an answer of j = 19

Which describes the cross section of a square prism that passes through vertices A, B, and C?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

In triangle ABC one side equal 8\sqrt{2} and two sides equal 4\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a prism whose base is square with sides 8 in and height 12 in.

If we take cross section through vertices A, B and C

We will get a cross section as triangle.

In triangle ABC, sides are AB, BC and AC

AB is diagonal of top square whose side 8 in.

AB=\sqrt{8^2+8^2}=8\sqrt{2}

AC is face diagonal of front face.

AC=\sqrt{8^2+12^2}=4\sqrt{13}

BC is face diagonal of right face.

BC=\sqrt{8^2+12^2}=4\sqrt{13}

AC=BC≠AB

Hence, In triangle ABC one side equal 8\sqrt{2} and two side equal 4\sqrt{13}
