Consider the equation 1/4(x – 5) = (y – 2)^2. What is the equation of the directrix?
A.) x = 4.0000
B.) x = 4.7500
C.) x = 4.6250
D.) x = 4.9375

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the vertex

¼(x-5) = (y-2)²

x-5 = 4(y-2)²

x = 4(y-2)² + 5

This is a right-opening parabola with vertex (5,2).

focal length p = 1/(4·coefficient of y²) = 0.0625

directrix: x = 5-p = 4.9375

D

Answer 2

The equation of directrix of the parabola will be x = 4, i.e. Option A.

What is directrix ?

Directrix is a straight line distance to which from any point of a conic section is in fixed ratio to the distance from the same point to a focus. The directrix is perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and does not touch the parabola.

We have,

[tex]\frac{1}{4} (x - 5) = (y - 2)^2[/tex]

Now,

Rewrite as,

[tex](x - 5) = 4(y - 2)^2[/tex]

Now,

[tex]x= 4(y - 2)^2+5[/tex]

Now,

Comparing it with the vertex form,

i.e.

[tex]x = a ( y - h )^ 2 + k[/tex]

Vertex of parabola = (2, 5),

So,

Focus at (a, 0),

So,

Focus of the parabola = (4, 0),

i.e., a = 4

Now,

The Equation of directrix is given by x = a

So,

The equation of the directrix of this parabola,

x - a = 0,

i.e.

x - 4 = 0

⇒

x = 4

Hence, we can say that the equation of directrix of the parabola will be x = 4, i.e. Option A.

A school band gives a year-end concert. It is held in a 400-seat auditorium. Each concert ticket sells for $10, and 85% of the tickets are sold. How much money does the band earn from the sale of the tickets?

Answers

Answer: $3,400

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 400 seats in the auditorium which means that there are 400 tickets to be sold.

85% of these tickets are sold. The number of tickets sold is:

= 85% * 400

= 340 tickets were sold.

Each ticket sells for a total of $10.

The amount of money made from ticket sales is therefore:

= No. of tickets sold * price of ticket

= 340 * 10

= $3,400

Rachel is a stunt driver, and she's escaping from a building that is about to explode!
The variable d models Rachel's distance from her exit (In meters) t seconds after the cameras began recording the stunt

What is Rachel's speed?​

Answers

Answer:

The variable d models Rachel's distance from her exit (in meters) t seconds after the cameras began recording the stunt. d = - 38t

Step-by-step explanation:

From given, we have,  The expression that represents the Rachel's distance is given by, d = - 38t + 220                                                                      

where, d represents the distance in meters

            t represents the time in seconds                                                              

 

We know that, speed = distance by time.  Therefore, we need to differentiate the given equation w.r.t to time to find the speed.

we have,  d/dt (d) = d/dt [- 38t + 220]

| d/dt (d) | = | - 38 + 0 |

s =  d/dt (d) = 38 m/s

Therefore, the speed of Rachel is 38 m/s.

Answer:

38 meters per second

Answers

Answer:

25 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

15^2 + 20 ^2 = x^2

225+400= x^2

625 = x^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(625) = sqrt(x^2)

Kenny wants to learn how to serve overhand in volleyball. When he practiced yesterday, he made 7 serves over the net for every 2 serves that did not go over the net.If Kenny attempted 36 serves yesterday, how many serves did he make over the net?

Answers

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Kenny made 7 serves over the net for every 2 serves that did not go over the net i.e. success rate of Kenny is

[tex]\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{7}{2+7}\times 100=\dfrac{700}{9}\%[/tex]

for 36 serves, applying the same success rate, it is

[tex]\Rightarrow \text{success rate}=\dfrac{700}{9}\times\dfrac{1}{100}\times 36=28[/tex]

Serves that did not make over the net is [tex]36-28=8[/tex]

Thus, Kenny will make 28 serves that make over the net
