A radio telescope has a parabolic surface as shown below. . . A parabola opening up with vertex at the origin is graphed on the

coordinate plane. The height of the parabola from top to bottom is 1 meter and its width from left to right is 20 meters. . . If the telescope is 1 m deep and 20 m wide, how far is the focus from the vertex?.

Basing on the description, a parabola opening up with vertex at origin, the formula with vertex at origin is used, x^2 = 4py. p is the focus and so with the dimensions given, we obtain a 0.25 and that is the distance of the focus to the vertex.

There are several information's that are already given in the question. Based on those given information's, one can say that the origin of the parabola is opening up with the vertex of the parabola. We already know that the formula for a parabola with vertex at the origin is x^2 = 4py, where "p" is the focus. Now putting the dimensions given in the question in the formula, we get 0.25 as the correct result. I hope the answer has come to your help.

Consider the following formula used to estimate height, h, of a seedling after w weeks since planting:
svp [43]

Answer:

Option B. w=5h-8

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h=(\frac{1}{5})w+(\frac{8}{5})

Solve for w

That means ----> isolate the variable w

Multiply by 5 both sides to remove the fraction

5h=w+8

subtract 8 both sides

5h-8=w+8-8

5h-8=w

Rewrite

w=5h-8

6 pints of a 20 percent solution of alcohol in water are mixed with 4 pints of a 10 percent alcohol in water solution. The perce
andreev551 [17]
Total Volume would be 6 + 4 = 10 pints
Let's calculate the volume of alcohol in final solution:
20% * 6 = 1.2 pints
10% * 4 = .4 pints
Total = 1.6 pints of alcohol in 10
Percentage = (1.6/10) * 100 = 16 per cent.
answer is A

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute.
Paul [167]

3520/5280 = 2/3 of a mile per minute.

2/3 x 60 minutes per hour = 40 miles per hour.

40-30 = 10

Bison runs 40 miles per hour

The bison runs 10 miles an hour faster than the deer

How many roots does the graphed polynomial function have?
TiliK225 [7]
To start, note that the roots of a function have to do with how many times the function passes through the x-axis.

When you look at the graph above, notice that it passes through the x-axis 3 times, at the points (-6,0), (-4,0), and (3,0).

Knowing this, you can conclude that your answer would be choice B.)3

The equation y = 0.002x - 0.30 can be used to determine the approximate cost, y in dollars, of producing x items. How many items
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

193650

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost must be no more than 387$, you can substitute that number instead of y to get 387 = 0.002x - 0.30. you can add 0.30 to both sides to get 387.3 = 0.002x

Then you can divide both sides by 0.002 to get 387.3/0.002 = 193650
