The generic equation of a parabola is:
 f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
 To verify the equation of the parabola you need three points:
 f (x) = ax ^ 2 + bx + c
 We choose the points:
 (x, y) = (- 1,7)
 7 = a (-1) ^ 2 + b (-1) + c
 7 = a - b + c
 (x, y) = (0,5)
 5 = a (0) ^ 2 + b (0) + c
 5 = c
 (x, y) = (- 2,5)
 5 = a (-2) ^ 2 + b (-2) + c
 5 = 4a - 2b + c
 We solve:
 c = 5
 5 = 4a - 2b + 5
 7 = a - b + 5
 Rewriting
 b = 2a
 a-b = 2
 Substituting:
 a-2a = 2
 a = -2
 b = -4
 The equation of the parabola is:
 f (x) = - 2x ^ 2 -4x + 5

The ratio of students who wear glasses to the total class is 2:5
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

a. 2:3, b. 25 students, c. 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 5 (total) - 2 (with glasses) = 3 (without glasses), making the ratio 2:3.

b. We can assign the total students with the variable x. 3:5=15:x, 75=3x, x=25. 25 total students.

c. 25 (total students) - 15 (without glasses) = 10 (with glasses). (10+5):(15-5) is 15:10, which, when simplified, equals to 3:2.

The marketing department of a sports supply store wants to estimate the percentage of adults in the town who belong to a gym.
velikii [3]
A) If you only sample people in a sports supply store, your sample will be biased.  People in a sports supply store are more likely to be people that belong to a gym.
B) While it does not have necessarily the same amount of bias as sampling people in the sports supply store, people that go to a park are generally more likely to be people that exercise or have a gym membership.
C) Taking a random sample of people in town is a good way to get a non-biased sample.  They are not necessarily predisposed to answer your question one way or another.
D) For the same reason as choice A, this is a biased sample.

C is the best choice.

What is the equation of a line that passes through (1,5) and (3,11)? Show work please.
jekas [21]
First, find the gradient/slope:
Use slope formula:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(11-5)/(3-1)
=6/2
=3
Then use the line equation formula:
y=mx+c
You can substitute (1,5) if you like, also must substitute the slope as well!
5=3x1+c
c=2
Then find the full equation, which gives you the answer:
y=3x+2

Determine the standard variation of the data below. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Ne4ueva [31]
Calculate for the mean/ average of the given numbers:
 
                             μ = (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) / 5 = 3

Then, we calculate for the summation of the squares of differences of these numbers from the mean, S
 
                             S  = (1 - 3)² + (2 - 3)² + (3 - 3)² + (4 - 3)² + (5 - 3)²
                                S = 10

Divide this summation by the number of items and take the square root of the result to get the standard deviation.

                              SD = sqrt (10 / 5) = sqrt 2  
                                    SD = 1.41

Thus, the standard deviation of the given is equal to 1.41.
