Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (6,-4) and a directrix at y= -7

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

Directrix at y=-7.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The general equation of a parabola is:

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k[/tex]                  ...(i)

Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

[tex](h,k+p)=(6,-4)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]h=6[/tex]

[tex]k+p=-4[/tex]                            ...(ii)

Directrix at y=-7. So,

[tex]k-p=-7[/tex]                            ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

[tex]2k=-11[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k=-5.5[/tex]

Putting [tex]k=-5.5[/tex] in (ii), we get

[tex]-5.5+p=-4[/tex]

[tex]p=-4+5.5[/tex]

[tex]p=1.5[/tex]

Putting [tex]h=6, k=-5.5,p=1.5[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{4(1.5)}(x-6)^2+(-5.5)[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is [tex]y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5[/tex].

z=?​

Answers

Answer:

z = 83 / (- c + 6 - t)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-cz+ 6z = tz + 83

z=?​

-cz+ 6z = tz + 83

Collect like terms

-cz+ 6z - tz = 83

Factorize

z(- c + 6 - t) = 83

Divide both sides by (- c + 6 - t)

z(- c + 6 - t) / (- c + 6 - t) = 83 / (- c + 6 - t)

z = 83 / (- c + 6 - t)

A lighthouse casts a 128-ft shadow. A nearby lamppost that measures 5
feet casts an 8-foot shadow. What is the height of the light house, rounded
to the nearest foot? *

Answers

Answer: 80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write these as fractions and do cross multiplication with the numerator being the height of the object while the denominator being the length of the shadow:

5 * 128 = 8x

640 = 8x

80 = x

Thus, the height of the lighthouse is 80 feet tall.

A drawer is filled with 2 black shirts, 7 white shirts, and 11 gray shirts.

Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

Probability of the chosen T-shirt not being black will be equal to 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we need to understand that probaility is equal to the number of those outcomes that we want divided by the total number of outcomes. In our case the total number of outcomes is 20 (2 + 7 + 11) which is the total number of T-shirts, and the number of outcomes that are favorable to us is equal to 18 (outcomes without a black T-shirt). Therefor probability of the chosen T-shirt not being black will be equal to...

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 3x - 8 and passes
through the point (4,-5)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=3x-17[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel equations always share a slope.

So since we know the slope and a point the equation needs to pass through we can plug in the values and replace -8 with [tex]b[/tex]

[tex]-5=3(4)+b[/tex]

simplify both sides

[tex]-5=12+b[/tex]

isolate the variable

[tex]-17=b[/tex]

plug [tex]b[/tex] back into the equation and you get

[tex]y=3x-17[/tex]

Answer:

y = 3 x + 11

 Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes.

The slope of the new line will have the same slope as the given line:

y = 3 x − 4

⇒ m = 3

One point on the line is given,  

( − 2  5 ) .

This is  ( x 1  y 1 )

The formula for slope is  

m = ( change in y values/ change in x-values ) =  y 2  −  y 1/ x 2 − x 1

If you have the slope and one point , substitute them into a formula which is based on the formula for slope given above.

y  −  y 1 =  m  ( x  −  x 1 )  

y  −  5  =  3 ( x  −  ( − 2 ) )

y  −  5  =  3 ( x + 2 )

Simplify to get the required equation of the line.

y  =  3 x  +  6  +  5

y  =  3 x  +  11

Evan, James, and Burt are fishing in a lake that has 200 fish. They are going to be fishing for three hours. What is the probability that they each will catch 3 fish?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956

Step-by-step explanation:

The hyper geometric distribution is used to solve this as it has a population, a sample , number of successes  for both the population and sample.

Here

Population size= N =200

Sample size= n =9= (3*3)

Number of successes in population = k = 3 hours

Number of successes in sample = x= 3

Applying the hyper geometric distribution

P (x=3) = kCx *(N-k) C (n-x)/ N Cn

   = 3 C 3 * 197 C 6/ 200 C 9

    =0.000063956

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956

The manager of a grocery store has selected a random sample of 100 customers. The average length of time it took these 100 customers to check out was 3.0 minutes. It is known that the standard deviation of the checkout time is 1 minute. Refer to Exhibit 8-2. If the confidence coefficient is reduced to .80, the standard error of the mean _____. a. becomes negative b. remains unchanged c. will increase d. will decrease

Answers

Answer:

b. remains unchanged

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for standard error of mean is;

SE = σ/√n

From the above, we can see that the standard error of mean is independent of the confidence coefficient as it doesn't affect the SE.

Now, we are given that;

random sample; n = 100

Standard deviation; σ = 1

Thus;

SE = 1/√100

SE = 1/10

Now, even if the confidence coefficient is reduced, we can see that it has no impact on the standard error of mean.

Thus, SE remains unchanged.

find the 9th and 15th terms of the following geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, -16​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

given the geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, -16, ...

a1 = 2

r = -4/2 = -2

find : a9 and a15

solutions:

an = a1. r^(n-1)

=> a9 = 2. (-2)^(9-1)

= 2. (-2)^8

= 2. 2^8

= 2^9

= 512.

=> a15 = 2. (-2)^(15-1)

= 2. (-2)^14

= 2. 2^14

= 2^15

= 32,768

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The given geometric sequence is: 2, -4, 8, -16.

The;

a1 = 2

Common ratio (r) = T2/T1

= -4/2

= -2

Now;

Use general formula of geometric sequence;

[tex]tn = {a1.r}^{n - 1} [/tex]

Where, "a1" is first term, "n" is no.of terms and "r" is common ratio.

Then;

[tex]t9 = 2 \times { (- 2)}^{9 - 1} [/tex]

or, t9 = 2*256

Therefore, t9 = 512.

Again;

[tex]t15 = 2. { (- 2)}^{15 - 1} [/tex]

or, t15= 2*16384

Therefore, t15 = 32768.
