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 a parabola is: [tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{160}(x - 40) + 10}[/tex]The focus of a parabola is: (40,-30)The axis of symmetry is: [tex]\mathbf{x = 40}[/tex]The directrix is:[tex]\mathbf{y = 50}[/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 10mm, midway 80mm.

So, the vertex is:

[tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (40,10)}[/tex]

The equation of a parabola is:

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

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{0 = a(0 - 40)^2 + 10}[/tex]

Subtract 10 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{a(0 - 40)^2 =- 10}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{1600a =- 10}[/tex]

Solve for a

[tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{160}}[/tex]

Substitute [tex]\mathbf{a =- \frac{1}{160}}[/tex] and [tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (40,10)}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{(h,k) = (40,10)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = -\frac{1}{160}(x - 40) + 10}[/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 -1/160}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -\frac{160}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{p = -40}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (40,10-40)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Focus = (40,-30)}[/tex]

The axis of symmetry is:

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

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x = 40}[/tex]

The directrix is:

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

[tex]\mathbf{y = 10 + 40}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{y = 50}[/tex]

what is the equation for the line that is perpendicular to the x-axis and passes through the point (4, -7)?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular means to cross at a right angle (90 degrees).

so, any line perpendicular to the x-axis is parallel to the y-axis.

and any line parallel to the y-axis has only a defining x value. all points on that line have the same x value (while any value for y from -infinity to +infinity is valid).

the y-axis itself is

x = 0

the specified point here has an x value of 4.

so, the line we are looking for is

x = 4

to point out : this is NOT a function, because for the same x value we get more than 1 valid y values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yesterday’s price =$3.20

Today’s price =$3.45

Increase =today’s price - yesterday’s price

That’s $3.45 - $3.20

= $0.25

Percentage increase = increment /yesterday’s price x 100%

That’s $0.25/$3.20 x 100%

What is -(x + 4) - 3x = x in Distributive property?

Answers

Answer:

x = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation: -(x+4)-3x=x

Remember distributive property allows us to get rid of the parenthesis by bringing a multiplication from outside to inside a parenthesis.

-(x+4) = -x-4

= -x-4-3x=x

Now we combine like terms in this case we have (-x) and (-3x)

= -4x-4=x

Subtract x from both sides

= -4x-4=x

  -x      -x

----------------

 -5x-4=0

Add 4 to both sides

-5x-4=0

    +4 +4

---------------

-5x=4

Our final step is to divide both sides by -5

-5x=4

----  ----

-5    -5

x = -4/5

Simplify (a – b)(a2 – 5ab + 2)

Answers

Answer:

5ab^2-6a^2b+a^3-2b+2a

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplified expression of  expression  (a – b)(a² – 5ab + 2) is a³ – 6a²b + 5ab² + 2a – 2b

What is Expression?

An expression is combination of variables, numbers and operators.

To simplify the expression (a – b)(a² – 5ab + 2), we need to apply the distributive property, which states that:

(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

Using this property, we can multiply the two binomials as follows:

(a – b)(a² – 5ab + 2) = a(a² – 5ab + 2) – b(a² – 5ab + 2)

Now we can distribute the terms of each binomial:

= a³ – 5a²b + 2a – a²b + 5ab² – 2b

Simplifying the terms, we can combine like terms:

= a³ – 6a²b + 5ab² + 2a – 2b

Therefore, the simplified expression is a³ – 6a²b + 5ab² + 2a – 2b

Substitute the values and find the slope. Once you find the slope (m) to be [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex], take any of the two points and apply it to the slope intercept formula (y=mx+b) to find b. I took the point (0,2) and applied it to the formula. It should look like 2= [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex](0)+b. Solve for b by multiplying 2/5 by zero and your left with 2=b. Plugin the missing varibles for the equation and it should come out to be y= [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex](x)+2.

Answer:

p = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line add up to 180° so:

2p + 5 + 3p = 180° (simplify)

5p + 5 = 180° (subtract 5 from both sides)

5p = 175° (divide both sides by 5)

p = 35°

Hope this helps!

Answer:

p=35

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to add the two together and set them equal to 180, so 2p+5+3p=180 so 5p=175, so p=35.

Look back at the triangle. FG and HG are congruent, which means the values of V and W will be the same.

The last step is to divide.
