0.3:0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

first convert the % to decimals.

75%=0.75

25%=0.25

then look for a common factor and divide be that, in this case its 5.

0.75/5=0.15

0.25/5=0.5

now since these arent in the simplified form, you gotta divide again by 5.

0.15/5=0.3

0.5/5=0.1

Answer:

y= 1/12(x-0)^2+0

this answer works as an upward parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a veritcal parabola is y=1/4p(x-h)^2+k
(h,k)= coordinates of the vertex of the parabola
p= absolute value of the distance from the vertex to the focus/directrix
In this problem, it is given that the vertex is at the origin (0,0) and the focus (the bulb), is 3 centimeters away from the vertex.
Now, you know the values of the variables. Fill in the values
FROM THE FORMULA: 1/4p turns into 1/12 since p is 3.
(x-h)^2+k turns into (x-0)^2+0, since h and k where the values of the vertex which was 0,0
once all the variables are given values (except x and y) you have made your equation!
The answer is y=1/12(x-0)^2+0

MARK BRAINLIEST! this took forever, and I know this is the right answer since I got a perfect grade when I turned mine in.

Write the equation of each line using the given information.

Leni [432]

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3>Solution:</h3>

a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

$y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)$

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

$y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))$

On solving we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}$
