A searchlight is shaped like a parabola. If the light source is located 3 feet from the base along the axis of symmetry and the depth of the searchlight is 4 feet, what should the width of the opening of the searchlight be?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8√3 ≈ 13.86 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The light source is usually placed at the focus, so the focus-vertex distance is p=3 ft. The equation for the parabola with its vertex at the origin is ...

  y = 1/(4p)x^2

  y = 1/12x^2

The opening for some y-value extends ±x from the axis of symmetry, so is a total of 2x in width.

For y=4, the corresponding value of x is ...

  4 = 1/12x^2

  48 = x^2

  √48 = x = 4√3

Then the width of the searchlight opening is ...

  2(4√3 ft) = 8√3 ft ≈ 13.86 ft

Answer:

(3x) ° + (x+ 10)° = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x) ° + (x+ 10)° = 90°

3x + x + 10 = 90

4x = 90 - 10

4x = 80

x = 20

(3x) ° = 3 x 20 = 60°

(x + 10)° = 20 + 10 = 30°

Answer: you can either do 3x°(x+10)° or (x+10)°+3x°

Answers

Answer:

Here we know that:

[tex]m(v) = \frac{M_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{V}{C} } }[/tex]

Where V is the speed, C = 3*10^8 m/s

We want to solve:

[tex]m(v) = \frac{M_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{V}{C} } } = 2*M_0[/tex]

We can just isolate V from the above equation, so we will get:

[tex]\frac{M_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{V}{C} } } = 2*M_0[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{V}{C} } } = 2[/tex]

[tex]1 = 2\sqrt{1 - \frac{V}{C} }[/tex]

[tex](1/2)^2 = 1 - \frac{V}{C}[/tex]

[tex]V = (1 - (1/4))*C = (3/4)*C = (3/4)*3*10^8 m/s = (9/4)*10^8 m/s[/tex]

The shortest route from London to Edinburgh is 400 miles.
A lorry is expected to take 10 hours to travel this route.
The lorry actually travels by a different route which increases the distance by 15%, but it still arrives in 10 hours.
By how many more mph than the expected speed does the lorry travel?

Answers

Answer:

The lorry travels by 6 mph more than the expected speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity formula:

Velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

Shortest route:

400 miles in 10 hours, which means that [tex]d = 400, v = 10[/tex]. So

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{400}{10} = 40[/tex]

In mph.

The lorry actually travels by a different route which increases the distance by 15%, but it still arrives in 10 hours.

Distance is multiplied by 100% + 15% = 115% = 1.15, so:

[tex]d = 1.15*400 = 460[/tex]

Then

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{460}{10} = 46[/tex]

46 mph

By how many more mph than the expected speed does the lorry travel?

46 - 40 = 6 mph

The lorry travels by 6 mph more than the expected speed.

Show A and Show B are two of the most popular television shows of all time. The number of episodes of each show are consecutive even integers whose sum is 570. If there are more episodes of Show A, how many episodes of each were there?

Answers

Answer:

A = 286 episodes

B = 284 episodes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the [tex]\text{number of episodes}[/tex] of show B

    n + 2 = the [tex]\text{number of episodes}[/tex] of show A

Therefore, according to the question,

The sum of the number of the episodes of each show are consecutive even integers  = 570

Therefore,

n + n + 2 = 570

2n + 2 = 570

2n = 568

n = 284

Therefore, the number of episodes for B = 284

The number of episodes for A = n + 2 = 284 + 2

                                                              = 286

A veterinary assistant is working at a shelter that houses 53 animals. The shelter uses 1,484 pounds of food each month. How much on average does each animal consume per day in a 28-day month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Animals = 53[/tex]

[tex]Food = 1484lb[/tex]

Required

Daily consumption of each animal in a 28-day month

First, we calculate the daily consumption of all animals

[tex]All = \frac{Food}{28}[/tex]

[tex]All = \frac{1484lb}{28}[/tex]

[tex]All = 53 lb[/tex]

The consumption of each animal is then calculated as:
