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]

Step-by-step explanation:

what is the equation of line that is perpendicular to the line: y=3x-6 and goes through the point ( -3 , 6 )

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x - 6

the slope of a line is always the factor of x in the equation. in our case here : 3 = 3/1.

the slope is the y/x ratio indicating how many units y changes, when x changes by a certain amount of units (e.g. when going from one point on the line to another).

the perpendicular slope (crosses the original line in a right angle = 90 degrees) turns x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

so, in our case, it is -1/3.

the equation for the perpendicular line looks like this then :

y = (-1/3)×x + b

to get b we use the provided point and it's x and y values.

6 = (-1/3)×-3 + b = 1 + b

b = 5

so, the full equation of the perpendicular line is

y = (-1/3)×x + 5

Hello haohaoxNienie!

[tex] \huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}[/tex]

Show that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

[tex] \huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Explanation} \downarrow}[/tex]

To show that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1, we must divide the polynomial by x - 1. If we get the remainder as 0, then we can say that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

__________________

So, let's do the division (steps in the attached picture).

__________________

We got the remainder as 0. So, yes p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

__________________

More steps :-

x² - 5x + 6

= (x - 3) (x - 2) [use the splitting the middle term method].

So, the zeroes are,

(x - 3)

x - 3 = 0

x = 3 ⇨ 1st zero.

(x - 2)

x - 2 = 0

x = 2 ⇨ 2nd zero.

Now, use the values of x on the equation. If we get 0 as the solution of the equation then we can prove that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

p(3) = 3³ - 6(3)² + 11 (3) - 6

p(3) = 27 - 54 + 33 - 6

p(3) = 0.

p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6

p(2) = 2³ - 6(2)² + 11 (2) - 6

p(2) = 8 - 24 + 22 - 6

p(2) = 0

Since we got the solutions as 0 we can say that p(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 is divisible by x - 1.

Rationalise the denominator of: -7/(√11 - √5)​

Answers

[tex] \sf \underline{ \red{Solution - }} \\ [/tex]

Given,

[tex] \sf{\quad { \dfrac{-7}{\sqrt{11} - \sqrt{5}} }} \\ [/tex]

The denominator is √11 - √5.

We know that

Rationalising factor of √a-√b is √a+√b.

Therefore, the rationalising factor of √11-√5 is √11+√5.

On rationalising the denominator them

[tex] \longrightarrow \sf{\quad { \dfrac{-7}{\sqrt{11} - \sqrt{5}} \times \dfrac{(\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{5})}{(\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{5})} }} \\ [/tex]

Multiplying (√11 + √5) with both the numerator of the fraction.

[tex] \longrightarrow \sf{\quad { \dfrac{-7(\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{5}) }{(\sqrt{11} - \sqrt{5})(\sqrt{11} + \sqrt{5})} }} \\ [/tex]

Performing multiplication in the numerator and by using identity (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b², solving further in the denominator.

[tex] \longrightarrow \sf{\quad { \dfrac{-7\sqrt{11} -7\sqrt{5}}{(\sqrt{11})^2 - (\sqrt{5})^2} }} \\ [/tex]

Writing the squares of the numbers in the denominator.

[tex] \longrightarrow \sf{\quad { \dfrac{-7\sqrt{11} -7\sqrt{5}}{11 -5} }} \\ [/tex]

Performing subtraction in the denominator.
