I assume that the parabola in this particular problem is one whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y axis. The formula we're going to use in this case is (x-h)2=4p(y-k). We know variables h and k from the vertex (1,20) but p is not given. However, we can solve for p by substituting values x and y in the formula with the y-intercept:

(0-1)^2=4p(16-20)

Solving for p, p=-1/16.

Going back to the formula, we can finally solve for the x-intercepts. Simply fill in variables p, h and k then set y to zero:

(x-1)^2=4(-1/16)(0-20)
(x-1)^2=5
x-1=(+-)sqrt(5)
x=(+-)sqrt(5)+1

Here, we have two values of x

x=sqrt(5)+1 and
x=-sqrt(5)+1

thus, the answers are: (sqrt(5)+1,0) and (-sqrt(5)+1,0).

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. a. Find the probabilit
Alik [6]

Answer:

a) The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, in which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

b) We have to find X when Z has a p-value of \frac{a}{100}, and X is given by: X = \mu - Z\sigma, in which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

Mean \mu, standard deviation \sigma

a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer.

The probability of a pregnancy lasting X days or longer is given by 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}, in which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest a​%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.

We have to find X when Z has a p-value of \frac{a}{100}, and X is given by: X = \mu - Z\sigma, in which \mu is the mean and \sigma is the standard deviation.

The radius of a circle is 56 cm. Find the circumference of the circle to the nearest tenth. 351.9 cm 9,852.0 cm 112.0 cm 88.0 cm
borishaifa [10]

Alright, lets get started.

We have given a circle which has 56 cm radius.

We are asked to find its circumference.

The formula for circumference of circle = 2 pi r

Putting the value of pi and r

So the circumference = 2 * 2.142 * 56

Simplifing

Hence the circumference of circle = 351.9 cms

Answer is 351.9 cm

Hope it will help :)
