Concept explainers
A lithotriper is used to disentegrate kidney stones. The patient is placed within anelliptical device with the kidney centered at one focus, while ultrasound waves from the other focus hit the walls and are reflected to the kidney stone, shattering the stone. Suppose that the length of the major axis of the ellipse is 40 centimeters and the length of the minor axisis 20 centimeters. How far from the kidney stone should the electrode that sends the ultrasound waves be placed in order to shatter the stone?

List the vertex for each function, circle whether the function opens up or down, and why. All three parts must be correct to receive Level 2 points. You can receive points for a, b, and c. a) g(x) = -2(x+5)² Vertex: Opens Up Opens Down Why? ais negative -2 Vertex: b) g(x) = (x + 2)² - 3 c) g(x) = -4(x + 2)² + 2 Opens Up Opens Down Vertex: Opens Up Opens Down Why? 4 Ca is negative) Why? his positive 2. The graph of the function f(x) is shown below. Find the domain, range, and end behavior. Then list the values of x for which the function values are increasing and decreasing. f(x) Domain: End Behavior: As x → ∞o, f(x) -> -6 As x, f(x) -> Range: Where is it Increasing?

- Show how you can solve the system of equations by manipulating the algebra tiles while maintaining the balances. On this side of the page, use the addition (elimination) method. Keep track of what you did at each step by writing down the corresponding equivalent equations, as well as what you did to go from one equation to the next. 1. x + 2y = 5 x-2y=1 2. 2x+y=2 x-2y= 6arrow_forwarde) x24 1) Which of these are equivalent to x³? For each expression that is equivalent to x², prove it by using the definition of exponents. For each that is not equivalent to x³, give an example using a specific value for x that shows that it represents a different number. a) (x5) d) f) 10-2 b) (x²) *|*arrow_forwardNow show how you can solve the system of equations by manipulating the algebra tiles while maintaining the balances, using the substitution method.
