first off, let's notice that Purple's time is in minutes, whilst the rate is in miles per hour, the units of both must correspond, so, we can either change the time from minutes to hours or the rate from hours to minutes, hmmm let's change the time to hours.

so 40 minutes, we know there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 40 minutes will be 40/60 of an hr, or namely 2/3.

\qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}} ~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\cfrac{\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}}{x}~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{x} varies inversely with }\underline{z^5} ~\hspace{5.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{x=\cfrac{\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}}{z^5}~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\begin{array}{llll} \textit{\tiny "t"ime varies}\\ \textit{\tiny inversely with "s"peed} \end{array}}{t = \cfrac{k}{s}}\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} t=\stackrel{minutes}{40}\to \stackrel{hrs}{\frac{2}{3}}\\ s=\stackrel{m/h}{9} \end{cases} \implies \cfrac{2}{3}~~ = ~~\cfrac{k}{9} \\\\\\ 18=3k\implies \cfrac{18}{3}=k\implies 6=k~\hfill \boxed{t=\cfrac{6}{s}} \\\\\\ \textit{when s = }\stackrel{m/h}{12}\textit{ what is "t"?}\qquad t=\cfrac{6}{12}\implies t=\cfrac{1}{2}

Find the vertex, focus, directrix, and focal width of the parabola: -1/40x^2=y
dimulka [17.4K]
For
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
vertex is (h,k)
distance from vertex to directix=p=distance from vertex to focus
|4p|=focal width

remember, focus is on the side of the parabola where it opens and directix is at the back
when p is negative, it opens down
when p is positive, it opens up

look at equation
-1/40(x-0)^2=(y-0)
times -40 to both sides
(x-0)^2=-40(y-0)
(x-0)^2=4(-10)(y-0)
vertex=(0,0)
p=-10,it's negative so it opens down

focus is 10 units below vertex (y direction)
focus=(0,-10)

diretix is 10 above
directix is y=10

focal width=|4p|=|4(-10)|=|-40|=40




vertex=(0,0)
focus=(0,-10)
directix is y=10
focal width=40 units

In the diagram below, points A, E, and F lie on the same line. If ABCDE is a regular pentagon, and \angle EFD=90^\circ, then how
mash [69]

The measure of ∠FDE = 18°

<u>Explanation:</u>

A Pentagon has 5 sides and is made of 3 triangles

So, sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°

Therefore, the total interior angle of a regular pentagon = 3 X 180° = 540°

A regular pentagon will have all its angle equal

All the five angles would make 540°

Let the measure of one angle = x

So,

5x = 540°

x = 108°

Therefore, the measure of each angle of a pentagon is 108°

From the diagram,

∠AED + ∠FED = 180°

∠AED = 108° as it is one of the sides of the pentagon

So,

108° + ∠FED = 180°

∠FED = 72°

In ΔEFD,

∠FED + ∠EFD + ∠FDE = 180°

72° + 90° + ∠FDE = 180°

∠FDE = 18°

Therefore, the measure of ∠FDE = 18°
