Answer:

7.56 km²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Width of the fjord, w = 6.3 km

Retreated terminus of the glacier between may 2001 and June 2005, d = 7.5 km

thus, the length lost , y = 7.5 - 6.3 = 1.2 km

now, the area is given as:

A = Length × width

on substituting the values, we get

A = 1.2 × 6.3

or

A = 7.56 km²

Hence, the surface area lost by the glacier in the fjord is 7.56 km²

Last year Boris paid £256 for his car insurance.
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The percentage increase in the cost of Boris car insurance cost is 249%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to calculate the percentage increase in the cost of car insurance paid by Boris

Mathematically, to calculate this percentage increase, we shall need to make use of a mathematical formula.

Mathematically, the percentage increase would be;

{(new value paid-old value paid)/old value paid} * 100%

From the question, we can identify that the old value paid is £256 while the new value paid is £894

Thus, the percentage increase would be ;

(894-256)/256 * 100% = 638/256 * 100 = 2.4921875 * 100 = 249.21875 which is 249% increase to the nearest whole percentage

Fabio is designing a flashlight that uses a parabolic reflecting mirror and a light source. The shape of the mirror can be model
ohaa [14]

Answer:

(2, 11/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a vertical parabola; we know that because x is squared here, while y is not.  The standard equation of a vertical parabola with vertex (h,k) is

4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2, where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus.  Comparing

4p(y-k) = (x-h)^2 to

10(y-3)  = (x-2)^2, we see that 4p = 10.  Therefore, p = 10/4 = 5/2, which is the vertical distance between the focus and the vertex.

Since the coordinates of the vertex are easily read from the given equation

(x-2)^2=10(y-3):  (h,k) = (2, 3)

all we need to do is to add p (5/2) to the y-coordinate (3);

The focus is at (2, 3 + 5/2), or (2, 11/2).
