A jumping spider's movement is modeled by a parabola. The spider makes a single jump from the origin and reaches a maximum height of 10 mm halfway across a horizontal distance of 80 mm.

Part A: Write the equation of the parabola in standard form that models the spider's jump. Show your work. (4 points)

Part B: Identify the focus, directrix, and axis of symmetry of the parabola. (6 points)

Answers

Answer 1

The spider's movement is an illustration of a parabola.

The equation of the parabola is: [tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{320}(x - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]The focus of the parabola is [tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 ,-60)}[/tex]The directrix is: [tex]\mathbf{y = 100}[/tex].The axis of symmetry is: [tex]\mathbf{x = 80}[/tex]

(a) The equation

The spider passes through the origin.

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{(x,y) = (0,0)}[/tex]

The spider jumps to a maximum height of 20mm, midway 160mm.

So, the vertex is:

[tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (80,20)}[/tex]

The equation of a parabola is:

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

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = a(0 - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{0 = 6400a + 20}[/tex]

Subtract 20 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{6400a =- 20}[/tex]

Solve for a

[tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{320}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{320}}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (80,20)}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{y = a(x - h)^2 + k}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{320}(x - 80)^2 + 20}[/tex]

(b) The focus, directrix and the axis of symmetry

The focus of a parabola is:

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (h,k+p)}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]\mathbf{p = \frac{1}{4a}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{p = \frac{1}{4\times -1/320}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -\frac{320}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -80}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 , 20-80)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (80 ,-60)}[/tex]

The axis of symmetry is:

[tex]\mathbf{x = h}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 80}[/tex]

The directrix is:

[tex]\mathbf{y = k - p}\\[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y = 20+80}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 100}[/tex]

Answers

We want to find equations for the different markups for the manufacturer and the stores that sell the crayons.

We know that a pack of 24 crayons costs $0.05 to make.

Is sold to stores for $0.25

The stores sell it for $0.50

Now we want to get the markup equation for the manufacturer, this is:

Markup = 100%*(price - cost)/(cost) = 100%*($0.25 - $0.05)/$0.05 =400%

For the store it is:

Markup = 100%*($0.50 - $0.25)/($0.25) = 100%

For the composition of these two I assume you refer to the total markup (notice that these are not functions, we can't make a composition if we do not have a variable).

Comp = 100%*($0.50 - $0.05)/($0.05) = 900%

Initially, the program had 8 members and ended with 15 so [tex]\frac{15-8}{8}=\frac{7}{8}=0.875=87.5[/tex]

Please answer for last question

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

since you know already that it is a linear equation with a constant change rate (slope), you don't know the equation itself yet ?

you found the change rate (slope).

it is x goes up by 2, and y goes down by 6.

the slope is the ratio y/x representing the y and x changes, and it is always the factor of x.

"down" or "left" means "-","up" or "right" means "+".

the slope here is therefore

-6/2 = -3/1 = -3

so, we know the line function looks like

y = -3x + b

to get b we use one of the x y pairs like (1. 4)

4 = -3×1 + b

7 = b

and the full line function is

y = -3x + 7

Kira is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges an initial fee of $35 and an additional 60 cents for every mile driven.
Company B charges an initial fee of $42 and an additional 50 cents for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge less than Company B?
Write your answer as an inequality, using m for the number of miles driven.

Answers

Answer:

m < 0.7

Miles less than 0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A: 60m + 35

Company B: 50m + 42

60m + 35 < 50m + 42

60m - 50m < 42 - 35

Sally brought the pizza shown above for lunch which was cut into 10 equal slides what percentage of the pizza did tell they eat if she had four slices

Answers

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Sally ate 40% of the pizza and there was 60% of the pizza leftover.

Step-by-step explanation:

A percentage is a rate, number, or amount in each hundred.

There were 10 slices of pizza, she ate 4.

4/10 = 40/100 multiplied by 10, which would let us find the percentage.

Therefore, Sally ate 40% of the pizza and left 60% back.

10. m∠1 = 34, m∠2 = 52, m∠3 = 38, m∠4 = 94, m∠5 = 56, m∠6 = 38

11. m∠1 = 62, m∠2 = 71, m∠3 = 109, m∠4 = 35, m∠5 = 109, m∠6 = 29, m∠7 = 47, m∠8 = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

8. m∠1 = 180 - (75 + 41) = 180 - 116 = 64

m∠2 = 90 - 64 = 26

m∠3 = 90 - 54 = 36

9. m∠3 = 180 - 73 = 107

m∠1 = 73

m∠2 = 180 - (73 + 49) = 180 - 122 = 58

m∠4 = 49

m∠5 = 180 - m∠4 = 180 - 49 = 131

10. m∠6 = 90 - 52 = 38

m∠3 = m∠6 = 38, m∠2 = 52

m∠5 = 180 - (86 + 38) = 180 - 124 = 56

m∠1 = 90 - 56 = 34

m∠4 = 180 - (34 + 52) = 180 - 86 = 94

11. m∠2 = 71

m∠3 = m∠5 = 180 - 71 = 109

m∠1 = 180 - (47 + 71) = 180 - 118 = 62

m∠4 = m∠2 - 36 = 71 - 36 = 35

m∠6 = m∠2 - 42 = 71 - 42 = 29

m∠7 = 47

m∠8 = m∠1 = 62

Each root corresponds to a linear factor, so we can write:

The ratio of the number of combinations (2n+2) of different objects taken n at a time to the number of combinations of (2n-2) of different objects taken n at a time is 99:7. Find the value of n.​

Answers

The expected value of n is 1.152

The question states that ratio of 2n+2 and 2n-2 = 99:7. This means that

2n+2:2n-2 = 99:7, this also means that

[tex]\frac{2n+2}{2n-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{99}{7}[/tex]

If that is so, we can cross multiply so that

99 * (2n - 2) = 7 * (2n + 2), on expanding the bracket, we have

198n - 198 = 14n + 14

198n - 14n = 14 + 198

184n = 212, dividing both sides by 184, we have

n = 212/184

n = 1.152

Therefore, the value of n is 1.152

Answer:

∠ R = 58° , ∠ Q = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90°

∠ Q is 26° less than ∠ R , so ∠ Q = ∠ R - 26° , then

∠ Q + ∠ R = 90° , that is

∠ R - 26° + ∠ R = 90°

2 ∠ R - 26° = 90° ( add 26° to both sides )

2 ∠ R = 116° ( divide both sides by 2 )

∠ R = 58°

why is 3/8 bigger than 3/12​

Answers

Answer:

3/8 is is bigger then 3/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that 3/12 is equivalent to 2/8 and 3/8 is equivalent to 6/16

Sorry if its wrong! ^^""

As, 0.375> 0.25, so, 3/8 is greater than 3/12.

Here, we have,

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers.

We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

3/8 = 0.375

3/12 = 0.25

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.375 is greater than 0.25.

i.e. 0.375> 0.25, as 0.375 - 0.25 = 0.125

Therefore, 3/8 is greater than 3/12.

Hence, As, 0.375> 0.25, so, 3/8 is greater than 3/12.
