Answer:

To find the quadratic equation:

Assume any point (x, y) on parabola.

Use the distance formula i.e, \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

Distance between (x , y) and focus (-4 , \frac{-5}{4}) is:

\sqrt{(x+4)^2 +(y+\frac{5}{4})^2 }

Now, the distance between (x, y) and directrix of y = \frac{27}{4} is:

\sqrt{(y-\frac{27}{4})^2 }

On the parabola these distance are same;

\sqrt{(x+4)^2 +(y+\frac{5}{4})^2 } = \sqrt{(y-\frac{27}{4})^2 }

(x+4)^2 + (y+\frac{5}{4})^2 = (y-\frac{27}{4})^2

(x+4)^2 + y^2+\frac{25}{16}+\frac{5}{2}y = y^2+\frac{729}{16}-\frac{27}{2}y

or

(x+4)^2 = y^2+\frac{729}{16}-\frac{27}{2}y -y^2-\frac{25}{16}-\frac{5}{2}y

Simplify:

(x+4)^2 = \frac{729-25}{16}-\frac{27+5}{2}y

(x+4)^2 = \frac{704}{16}-\frac{32}{2}y

Simplify:

(x+4)^2 =44-16y  

or

16y = -(x+4)^2+44

Divide both sides by 16 we get;

y = \frac{-1}{16}(x+4)^2 + \frac{44}{16}

y = \frac{-1}{16}(x^2+16+8x) + \frac{11}{4}

or

y= \frac{-1}{16}x^2-1-\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{11}{4}

Simplify:

y= \frac{-1}{16}x^2-\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{7}{4}

therefore, the equation of the quadratic is; f(x) =negative one sixteenthsx^2 − one half x + seven-fourths.

icang [17]

Answer:

3.4625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

Q(t)=0.05t^2 + 0.1t + 3.4 parts per million

Where t = time in years

By approximately how much will the carbon monoxide lvel change during the coming 6 months?

t = 6 months = 6/12 = 0.5 year

Q(0.5) = 0.05(0.5)^2 + 0.1(0.5) + 3.4 parts per million

Q(0.5) = 0.05(0.25) + 0.05 + 3.4

Q(0.5) = 0.0125 + 0.05 + 3.4

Q = 3.4625

Carbon monoxide level will change by approximately 3.4625 parts per million in 6 months

____________________

(x-a)² + (y-b)² = r²

(x-5.5)² + (y-4)² = 3,5²

(x-5.5)² + (y-4)² = 12.25

If there are 4 green jelly beans, 2 white jelly
KatRina [158]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of green and white jelly beans

= Number of green + Number of white

= 4 + 2 = 6.

Probability = Number of green and white jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans * 100%

= 6 / (4 + 2 + 5) * 100% = 54.55%.

Answer:

A) Increase the significance level to increase the probability of a Type I error

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information of the problem we can say that the researchers have the difficulty with a test that is evaluating a machine, which works well but the test does not get to verify this information correctly, we have that the null hypothesis is that the new machine does not improve precision, so the risk of the researchers is to accept the hypothesis when it is false, what is called type II error, to avoid this, the level of significance should be increased, which in turn would increase the probability of type I error. , so the correct answer is A.
