Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (-4,-2) and a directrix at y = 3.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{10}x^2-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{11}{10}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, any point (x, y) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix.

The distance between a point (x, y) on the parabola and the focus can be described using the distance formula:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x-(-4))^2+(y-(-2))^2[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]

Since the directrix is an equation of y, we will use the y-coordinate. The vertical distance between a point (x, y) on the parabola and the directrix can be described using absolute value:

[tex]d=|y-3|\text{ or } |3-y|[/tex]

The two equations are equivalent. Therefore:

[tex]\sqrt{(x+4)^2+(y+2)^2}=|y-3|[/tex]

Solve for y. We can square both sides. Since anything squared is positive, we can remove the absolute value:

[tex](x+4)^2+(y+2)^2 = (y-3)^2[/tex]

Expand:

[tex](x^2+8x+16)+(y^2+4y+4)=(y^2-6y+9)[/tex]

Isolate:

[tex]x^2+8x+11=-10y[/tex]

Divide both sides by -10. Hence, our equation is:

[tex]\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{10}x^2-\frac{4}{5}x-\frac{11}{10}[/tex]

A mathematics teacher wanted to see the correlation between test scores and homework. The homework grade (x) and test grade (y) are given in the accompanying table. Write the linear regression equation that represents this set of data, rounding all coefficients to the nearest tenth. Using this equation, find the projected test grade, to the nearest integer, for a student with a homework grade of 34.

SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. please

Answers

Answer:

23

Step-by-step explanation:

Using an online calculator and plugging the values in, we get our equation of y=mx + b to become y = 1.2x - 17.8 .

Plugging 34 in for x, we get 1.2(34) - 17.8 = 23 for their projected test grade

Liam spent $4.76 on a salad bowl, and $3.81 on a cup of coffee. He paid using TWO ten dollar bills. What was Liam's change?

Answers

Answer:

11.43

Step-by-step explanation:

You can start this by adding the total cost of the salad and the coffee.

4.76 + 3.81 = 8.57

Then you have the paid amount of 20 bucks because there was two tens.

20 - 8.57 = 11.43.

Answers

Answer:

5/12 hour or 25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is

distance = rate * time

changing minutes to hours (50 * 1 /60 ) = 5/6 hours

distance = 20 mph * 5/6 hours

distance = 50/3 miles

We need to go the same distance at 40 mph

50/3 = 40 mph * time

Multiply each side by 1/40

50 /3 * 1/40 = 40 * 1/40 *t

50/3 *1/40 =t

5/12  of an hour

Changing back to minutes

5/12 * 60 =25

Answers

Answer:

a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a translation (the last option)

The composition of transformation is a dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a translation.

What is Translation?

A translation only moves a shape up, down, or from side to side; it has no effect on how it appears.

We have a transformations maps LMN to  L'M'N'.

As the size of Triangle L'M'N' is larger as compared to LMN.

The compression is represented by a scale factor with an absolute value between 0 and 1, while the enlargement is represented by a scale factor with an absolute value greater than 1.

Thus, dilation with a scale factor greater than 1 and then a translation.

A number system is defined as a system of writing to express numbers.

A sand dollar is 2 units away from rock and five units away from palm tree, We have to find the location of  the sand dollar

Let the rock is at -2 on number line

The palm tree is at 5 on  number line

So the sand dollar is at 0, as zero is two units away from rock and tree is five units away

Hence, the sand dollar is at zero which is  2 units away from rock and five units away from palm tree

A shop keeper buys a pair of shoes for birr 180 and sells it for birr 225 what is the percentage profit

Answers

Answer:

Percentage profit = 20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Cost price = birr 180

Selling price = birr 225

To find the percentage profit;

First of all, we would determine the profit;

Profit = selling price - cost price

Profit = 225 - 180

Profit = birr 45

Next, we would determine the percentage profit;

[tex] Percentage \; profit = \frac{profit}{selling \; price} * 100[/tex]

[tex] Percentage \; profit = \frac{45}{225} * 100[/tex]

[tex] Percentage \; profit = 0.2 * 100[/tex]

Percentage profit = 20%
