The value of P is 3

Given general formula for a parabola is x2 = 4py ………….(a)

Also given that x2 = 12y …………..(b)

Equating (a) and (b), we get

x2 = 4py ≅ x 2 = 12y

⇒ 4py = 12y

Canceling the 'y' on either sides, we get

⇒ 4p= 12 p= 3

When the general formula for a parabola is x2 = 4py. The value of p in the equation x2 = 12y is 3.

In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped. It fits several superficially different mathematical descriptions, which can all be proved to define exactly the same curves. One description of a parabola involves a point and a line

Problems 2.21, 2.22, 2.23

RoseWind [281]

Statements can be proved by contrapositive, contradiction or by induction.

2.21 and 2.23 are proved by contrapositive
2.22 is proved by induction

2.21: If $n^3$ is even, then n is even (By contrapositive)

The contrapositive of the above statement is that:

If n is odd, then $n^3$ is odd

Represent the value of n as:

$n = 2k + 1$ , where $k \ge 0$

Take the cube of both sides

$n^3 = (2k + 1)^3$

Expand

$n^3 = 8k^3 + 6k^2 + 6k + 1$

Group

$n^3 =[ 8k^3 + 6k^2 + 6k] + 1$

Factor out 2

$n^3 =2[4k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k] + 1$

Assume w is an integer; where:

$w =4k^3 + 3k^2 + 3k$

So, we have:

$n^3 =2w + 1$

The constant term (i.e. 1) means that $n^3$ is odd.

Hence, the statement has been proved by contrapositive.

i.e. If n is odd, then $n^3$ is odd

2.22 $3n + 4$ is even, if and only if n is even

We have: $3n + 4$

Assume that: $n = 2k + 2$ for $k \ge 0$

So, we have:

$3n + 4 = 3(2k + 2) + 4$

Open bracket

$3n + 4 = 6k + 6 + 4$

$3n + 4 = 6k + 10$

Factorize

$3n + 4 = 2(3k + 5)$

The factor of 2 means that $3n + 4$ is even.

Hence, $3n + 4$ is even, if and only if n is even

2.22: $s \ne -1$ and $t \ne -1$ , then $s + t + st \ne -1$

To do this, we prove by contrapositive.

The contrapositive of the above statement is:

If $s = -1$ and $t=-1$ , then $s + t + st = -1$

We have:

$s + t + st = -1$

Substitute the values of s and t in: $s + t + st = -1$

$-1 -1 -1 \times -1 = -1$

$-1 -1 + 1 = -1$

$-1 = -1$

Hence, by contrapositive:

If $s = -1$ and $t=-1$ , then $s + t + st = -1$

Which table correctly shows all the sample spaces for tossing a coin and rolling an even number on a six-sided number cube?

kotykmax [81]

Tossing a coin would be 1/2 because a coin has two sides and it has 1 out of two sides to land on the side you want it to land on. So that answer is 1/2. The dice rolling on an even number on a six-sided number cube would be 3/6. Which if you simplify it, it would be 1/2. The answer to both of them is 1/2!
