$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array}\qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex\ (-4,6)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
h=-4\\
k=6
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-(-4))^2+6
\\\\\\
y=a(x+4)^2+6
\\\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
x=-3\\
y=14
\end{cases}\implies 14=a(-3+4)^2+6$

solve for "a"

slega [8]

Answer:

a) After adding the 0 test score, the mean would be the most appropriate measure of center to describe the data-------> is true

b) After adding the 0 test score, the mean would be affected-----> is true

c) After adding the 0 test score, the median would be the most appropriate measure of center to describe the data-----> is false

d) Before the missed test, Eva’s median score was 96-----> is false

e) Before the missed test, Eva’s median score was 91------ is true

f) Before the missed test, Eva’s mean score was 91.8-----> is true

What is the volume of the cylinder use pie = 3.14 and round to the nearest tenth if needed

shepuryov [24]

Volume of a cylinder = π · radius(r)² · height(h)

Since you didn't provide the radius or the height, I am unable to provide a solution to this problem but hopefully you can solve it on your own now that you have the formula.

Question is Incomplete;Complete question is given below.

Mustafa’s soccer team is planning a school dance as a fundraiser. The DJ charges $200 and decorations cost $100. The team decides to charge each student $5.00 to attend the dance. If n represents the number of students attending the dance, which equation can be used to find the number of students needed to make $1,500 in profit?

$5n - 300 = 1,500\\\\5n + 300 = 1,500\\ \\5n - 200 + 100n = 1,500\\\\5n - 100 -200n = 1,500$

Answer:

$5n - 300 = 1,500$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Charges of DJ = $200

Decoration charges = $100

Profit need to be made = $1500

Charges per student to attend the dance = $5

We need to write the equation to find the number of students for to attend the dance in order to make profit.

Solution:

Let the number of student be represented by 'n'.

Now we can say that;

Profit to be made should be equal to Charges per student to attend the dance multiplied by number of students minus sum of Charges of DJ and Decoration charges.

framing in equation form we get;

$5n-(200+100)=1500\\\\5n-300=1500$

Hence the equation to find the number of students attending the dance is $5n - 300 = 1,500$

The focus of a parabola is (0, -3) and the directrix is y = 3. What is the equation of the parabola?

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The equation of the parabola is $y = -12\cdot x^{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the directrix is of the form $y = a$ , the parabola is vertical. The vertex of the parabola ( $V(x,y)$ ) is the midpoint between the focus ( $F(x,y)$ ) and a point of the directrix ( $P(x,y)$ ), that is to say:

$V(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot F(x,y) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot P(x,y)$ (1)

If we know that $F(x,y) = (0, -3)$ and $P(x,y) = (0, 3)$ , then the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola:

$V(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0, -3) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot (0, 3)$

$V(x,y) = (0, 0)$

The vertex factor ( $p$ ) is the distance of the focus with respect to the vertex:

$p = \sqrt{[F(x,y)-V(x,y)]\,\bullet \,[F(x,y)-V(x,y)]}$ (2)

If we know that $F(x,y) = (0, -3)$ and $V(x,y) = (0, 0)$ , then the vertex factor is:

$p = \sqrt{0^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

$p = -3$

The equation of the parabola in the vertex form is described below:

$y - k = 4\cdot p \cdot (x-h)^{2}$ (3)

Where:

$x$ - Independent variable.

$y$ - Dependent variable.

$h, k$ - Coordinates of the vertex.

If we know that $(h,k) = (0, 0)$ and $p = -3$ , then the equation of the parabola is $y = -12\cdot x^{2}$ .
