The value of the directrix is -5/4.

According to the statement

we have given that the equation of parabola is y2 = 5x. And we have to find that the which equation represents the directrix.

We know that the general equation of parabola is

(y - k)2 = 4a(x - h) -(1)

and given parabola equation is

y2 = 5x. -(2)

After comparing the both equations we get k=0 and h=0

And the formula to find the directrix is

x = h - a

Substitute the values of h and a in it then

x = 0-5/4

x = -5/4.

Here the directrix is -5/4.

So, The value of the directrix is -5/4.

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) equals 6X squared +12 X -7

tamaranim1 [39]

The zeroes of the function will be $\rm -1 \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{78}}{6}}$

<h3>What is a Quadratic Function ?</h3>

A quadratic function is given by ax² +bx+c = f(x)

The given quadratic function is

f(x) = 6x² +12x - 7

The zeroes of the function will be given by

f(0) = 0

6x² +12x - 7 = 0

The zeroes are given by

$\rm \dfrac {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$

here

a = 6

b = 12

c = -7

Therefore the zeroes of the function will be

$\rm \dfrac {-12 \pm \sqrt{12^2 -4*6*(-7)}}{2 *6}$

$\rm \dfrac {-12 \pm \sqrt{312}}{12}$

$\rm -1 \pm \dfrac{\sqrt{78}}{6}}$

Therefore these are the two zeroes of the function.

How to find the measurements of an angles

Mariulka [41]

•sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°
•sum of the angle in a quadrilateral = 360°
•opposite angles are equal
•for two parallel lines and a transversal, corresponding angles are equal, and alternate angles are equal.
•If it already has an angle for a triangle subtract that by 180 and divide it by two you have the other two angle, if you already have two angles on a triangle add those together and subtract from 180 thats the last angle, same for a quadrilateral but you subtract by 360 instead.

A phycologist is interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belong to a particular phyl

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

A sample of 16577 is required.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

She wants to estimate the proportion using a 99% confidence interval with a margin of error of at most 0.01. How large a sample size would be required?

We have no estimation for the proportion, and thus we use $\pi = 0.5$ , which is when the largest sample size will be needed.
