What is the focus of the parabola? y=−1/4x^2 −2x − 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a doozy. You have to know A LOT about parabolas to get to this answer. First and foremost, we will have to complete the square on the x terms and get everything else on the other side of the equals sign with the intention of putting this into standard form which looks like this:

[tex]-4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2[/tex]

The negative is because the parabola is upside down. We begin breaking it down by multiplying everything by -4 to get:

[tex]-4y=x^2+8x+8[/tex] and subtract that 8 from both sides to get:

[tex]-4y-8=x^2+8x[/tex]. Now we'll complete the square on the x terms by taking half the linear term, squaring it, and then adding it to both sides. Our linear term (the number with the x stuck to it) is 8. Half of 8 is 4 ad 4 squared is 16. So we add 16 to both sides to get:

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

The right side will simplify into a perfect square binomial and the left side we will just combine like terms to get:

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

We're getting close. Now we need to just factor out the -4 on the left to get:

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

If the standard form is -4p blah blah blah, then p has to be 1. That means that the focus is 1 unit below the vertex. The vertex is (-4, 2). p is the distance between the vertex and the focus. The focus is always on the axis of symmetry. We know that the parabola opens upside down because of the negative sign, and the parabola always wraps itself around the focus. That's why the focus is p units below the vertex. That means that the focus is located at (-4, 1).

Told you it was difficult. I noticed no one helped you with this one and it's been up here for 5 days...

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x – 4) = 2x + 6                  Remove the brackets

3x - 12 = 2x + 6                    Add 12 to both sides.

3x - 12 + 12 = 2x + 6 + 12     Combine

3x = 2x + 18                         Subtract 2x from both sides

3x-2x = 2x-2x + 18              Combine

A tire manufacturer believes that the life of its tires follow a normal distribution with a mean of 46,000 miles and a standard deviation of 4,000 miles. What mileage can he guarantee each tire to last so that 99% of the tires last longer than the guaranteed lifetime?

Answers

Answer:

Guarantee of Tyre = 36,680 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mean = 46,000 miles

Standard deviation = 4,000 miles

Computation:

Assume;

x = guaranteed lifetime

P(X > x) = 99%

So,

P(X > x) = 0.99

So,

P(Z > z) = 0.99

So,

1 - P(Z > z )  = P(Z < z)

P(Z < z) = 0.01

So, in z table value of z = -2.33

x = μ + [z x σ]

x = 46,000 + [-2.33 x 4000]

x = 36,680

Guarantee of Tyre = 36,680 miles

The difference of the product of 3 and a number -1/2

Answers

Answer:

(3 ⋅ x) - (-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it says the product of 3 and a number, it can be written as 3 ⋅ x, where you need to multiply 3 by x, and it only says “a number” so you can just put x. Then, it says the difference of that product and -1/2. Now, you can put the product part in, which is 3 ⋅ x, and subtract that with -1/2 to get (3 ⋅ x) - (-1/2)

Find the equation, f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k, for a parabola that passes through the point (0,0) and has a (-3,-6) as its vertex. What is the standard form of the equation?

A.) The vertex form of the equation is f(x)= - 2/3(x+3)^2-6. The standard form of the equation is f(x)=2/3x^2+4x.

B.) The vertex form of the equation is f(x)=2/3(x+3)^2-6. The standard form of the equation is f(x)+-2/3x^2-4x.

C.) The vertex form of the equation is f(x)= - 2/3(x-3)^2-6. The standard form of the equation is f(x)=2/3x^2-4x.

D.) The vertex of the equation is f(x)=2/3(x+3)^2-6. The standard form of the equation is f(x)=2/3x^2+4x.

Answers

Answer:

D) The vertex of the equation is [tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot (x+3)^{2}-6[/tex]. The standard form of the equation is [tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]A(x,y) = (0,0)[/tex] and [tex]V(x,y) = (-3, -6)[/tex] (vertex).

If we know that [tex]x = 0[/tex], [tex]y = 0[/tex], [tex]h = -3[/tex] and [tex]k = -6[/tex], then the standard equation results in:

[tex]a\cdot (0+3)^{2}-6 = 0[/tex]

And the value of [tex]a[/tex] is:

[tex]9\cdot a - 6 = 0[/tex]

[tex]a = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

And the vertex form of the equation is [tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot (x+3)^{2}-6[/tex].

Lastly, the standard form of the equation is found by algebraic means:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot (x^{2}+6\cdot x +9)-6[/tex]

[tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x[/tex]

The standard form of the equation is [tex]f(x) = \frac{2}{3}\cdot x^{2}+4\cdot x[/tex].  

In consequence, the right answer is D.


What is the length of segment DA?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of this line segment is the distance between its endpoints A and B. So, a line segment is a piece or part of a line having two endpoints. Unlike a line, a line segment has a definite length.

Answer: DA = 6

====================================================

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, allowing us to make the proportion below

DB/DA = DA/DC

Plug in the given values. Cross multiply and solve for x

DB/DA = DA/DC

9/DA = DA/4

9*4 = (DA)*(DA)

36 = (DA)^2

(DA)^2 = 36

DA = sqrt(36)

DA = 6

The length of DA is exactly the geometric mean of the lengths BD and DC

geometric mean of x and y = sqrt(x*y)

use f(x)=5x+2 and g(x)=3-x. what is the value of f(g(-1)) and g(f(-1))?

Answers

Answer:

f(g(-1)) = 22

g(f(-1))=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

[tex]f(x)=5x+2 \\g(x)=3-x[/tex]

We need to find f(g(-1)) and g(f(-1))

Finding f(g(-1))

First we will find f(g(x)) i.e

[tex]f(g(x))=5(3-x)+2\\f(g(x))=15-5x+2\\f(g(x))=-5x+17[/tex]

Now finding f(g(-1)) by putting x=-1

[tex]f(g(x))=-5x+17\\Put \ x=-1\\f(g(-1))=-5(-1)+17\\f(g(-1))=5+17\\f(g(-1))=22[/tex]

So, f(g(-1)) = 22

Finding g(f(-1))

First we will find g(f(x)) i.e

[tex]g(f(x))=3-(5x+2)\\g(f(x))=3-5x-2\\g(f(x))=-5x+1[/tex]

Now finding g(f(-1)) by putting x=-1

[tex]g(f(x))=-5x+1\\Put \ x = -1\\g(f(-1))=-5(-1)+1\\g(f(-1))=5+1\\g(f(-1))=6[/tex]

So, g(f(-1))=6
