What is the side lengths in inches of a cube with volume of 1 cubic inch

What is the equation of a parabola with a directrix of y=2 and a focus point of 0,-2

KiRa [710]

Hope this helped. :)

Any point, (x0,y0)(x0,y0) on the parabola satisfies the definition of parabola, so there are two distances to calculate:

Distance between the point on the parabola to the focusDistance between the point on the parabola to the directrix

To find the equation of the parabola, equate these two expressions and solve for y0y0 .

Find the equation of the parabola in the example above.

Distance between the point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and (a,b)(a,b) :

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2

Distance between point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and the line y=cy=c :

∣∣y0−c∣∣| y0−c |

(Here, the distance between the point and horizontal line is difference of their yy -coordinates.)

Equate the two expressions.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√=∣∣y0−c∣∣(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=| y0−c |

Square both sides.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2

Expand the expression in y0y0 on both sides and simplify.

(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0

This equation in (x0,y0)(x0,y0) is true for all other values on the parabola and hence we can rewrite with (x,y)(x,y) .

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus (a,b)(a,b) and directrix y=cy=c is

(x−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y

suppose that you plan on taking a summer job selling magazines subscriptions . the magazine company will help you pay $0.75 for

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Money earned by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25

Solution:

Given that you are planning to take a summer job selling magazine subscription.

For first subscription, magazine company will help you to pay $0.75

For each additional subscription sold, magazine company will pay you $0.20 more than what was paid for previous subscription.

So for second subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 1

And for third subscription, payments will be = 0.75 + 0.20 = 0.75 + 0.20 x 2

Generalizing for nth subscription we get

Payments for nth subscription = 0.75 + 0.20(n-1)

so here we can see that arithmetic sequence is formed, having first term

$a_1 = 0.75$ and common difference = d = 0.20

We need to determine sum of above arithmetic sequence for n = 175

Formula for sum of arithmetic sequence is as follows 

$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) d]$

In our case n = 175, a = 0.75, d = 0.20

$\begin{array}{l}{=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[(2 \times 0.75)+(175-1) 0.20]} \\\\ {=>\mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2}[1.5+(174 \times 0.20)]} \\\\ {\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_{175}=\frac{175}{2} \times 36.3=3176.25}\end{array}$

Hence money earn by selling 175 magazine subscriptions will be 3176.25
