Please, help Me with this

The equation of a parabola is given by (x-2)2=32(y+1). Find
i. The vertex
ii. The focus
iii. The equation of the directrix
iv. The length of the Latus Rectum

Comparing it to (x-h)2=4p(y-k)
So that
Vertex=(h,k)
Focus=(h,k+p)
Directrix is (y=k-p)
Lenght of lactus rectum=(4p)

The question is equivalent to
(x-2)2=4*8(y-(-1))

Hence,
Vertex=(2,-1)
Focus=(2,7)
Directrix is at y=-9
Lenght... =32

Hello house , kindly help out with ds. Thanks in anticipation:
A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The
first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank
in the same time during which the tank is filled by
the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5
hours faster than the first pipe and 18 hours slower
than the third pipe. The time required by the first is?

Are you sure u typed in all the values correctly? because the answer I have gotten is a decimal and I think I ought not to have decimals since the others are integers. Confirm please.

Your solution might be right. It is not compulsory to have a whole no as an answer. Just convert your decimal part to terms of Minutes and Seconds

alright,here it is:
let the fluid dissipation time of the first,second and third pipes be x,y and z respectively. from the info,when work is done(the filling of the tank) jointly by the first and second pipes the time taken is equivalent to the time taken by the third pipe working independently.
mathematically,the formula for the time taken to complete work when two entities work jointly is: xy/x+y.......in that case, we have that:
xy/x+y=z.......(1)
Again,it was stated that the second pipe is 5hrs faster than the first and 18hrs slower than the third, mathematically:
y=x-5, thus x=y+5.....(2)
And,
y=z+18, thus , z= y-18...(3)
substituting (2) and (3) into (1) and simplifying, we have:
y2-36y-90=0, and solving the quadratic equation ,we have that y=38.374.....recall that x=y+5, therefore,x=38.347+5=43.347hrs......thus the time required by the first pipe is 43.347hrs......for accuracy, it's 43.34698995hrs

V/T1 + V/T2 = V/T3 .............(i)

Where V/T is the rate of flow

T2 = T1 - 5 = T3 + 18
T2 = T1 - 5
T3 + 18 = T1 - 5
T3 = T1 - 23

Substituting into (i)

V/T1 + V/(T1 - 5) = V/(T1 - 23)
1/T1 + 1/(T1 - 5) = 1/(T1 - 23)
(2T1 - 5)/(T12 - 5T1) = 1/(T1 - 23)

T12 - 46T1 + 115 = 0

T1 = 43.347 hrs or 2.653 hrs

Comparing it to (x-h)2=4p(y-k)
So that
Vertex=(h,k)
Focus=(h,k+p)
Directrix is (y=k-p)
Lenght of lactus rectum=(4p)

The question is equivalent to
(x-2)2=4*8(y-(-1))

Hence,
Vertex=(2,-1)
Focus=(2,7)
Directrix is at y=-9
Lenght... =32

If No, explain why.

YES! All differential equations has a degree! Some might not be seen easily until you rationalise them.

In your case, the degree is one. Because one (1) is the power of the highest order(y'') in your differential equation.

So I would define a DEGREE as the power of the highest order of a differential equation after it has been rationalised.

What is the degree of the differential equation
sin(y'')+y'=0.

One of the not easily seen degrees! Do some little combos using the sin-squares and u may get a result.

Mind you, differential equations are usually models of a real life situation, you can't just form them. I wonder what kind of physical change will have such!



Anyways, its a new year. So happy new year.
