Y=x^2-6x-16 in vertex form

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

y=(x-3)^{2} -25

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is y=ax^{2} +bx+c

The vertex form of a quadratic equation is y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

The vertex of a quadratic is (h,k) which is the maximum or minimum of a quadratic equation. To find the vertex of a quadratic, you can either graph the function and find the vertex, or you can find it algebraically.

To find the h-value of the vertex, you use the following equation:

h=\frac{-b}{2a}

In this case, our quadratic equation is y=x^{2} -6x-16. Our a-value is 1, our b-value is -6, and our c-value is -16. We will only be using the a and b values. To find the h-value, we will plug in these values into the equation shown below.

h=\frac{-b}{2a} ⇒ h=\frac{-(-6)}{2(1)}=\frac{6}{2} =3

Now, that we found our h-value, we need to find our k-value. To find the k-value, you plug in the h-value we found into the given quadratic equation which in this case is y=x^{2} -6x-16

y=x^{2} -6x-16 ⇒ y=(3)^{2} -6(3)-16 ⇒ y=9-18-16 ⇒ y=-25

This y-value that we just found is our k-value.

Next, we are going to set up our equation in vertex form. As a reminder, vertex form is: y=a(x-h)^{2} +k

a: 1

h: 3

k: -25

y=(x-3)^{2} -25

Hope this helps!

Show that if X is a geometric random variable with parameter p, then
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric distribution represents "the number of failures before you get a success in a series of Bernoulli trials. This discrete probability distribution is represented by the probability density function:"

P(X=x)=(1-p)^{x-1} p

Let X the random variable that measures the number os trials until the first success, we know that X follows this distribution:

X\sim Geo (1-p)

In order to find the expected value E(1/X) we need to find this sum:

E(X)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}

Lets consider the following series:

\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} b^{k-1}

And let's assume that this series is a power series with b a number between (0,1). If we apply integration of this series we have this:

\int_{0}^b \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \int_{0}^b r^{k-1} dt=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^k}{k}   (a)

On the last step we assume that 0\leq r\leq b and \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} r^{k-1}=\frac{1}{1-r}, then the integral on the left part of equation (a) would be 1. And we have:

\int_{0}^b \frac{1}{1-r}dr=-ln(1-b)

And for the next step we have:

\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{b^{k-1}}{k}=\frac{1}{b}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{b^k}{k}=-\frac{ln(1-b)}{b}

And with this we have the requiered proof.

And since b=1-p we have that:

\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{p(1-p)^{k-1}}{k}=-\frac{p ln p}{1-p}

Find the percent of increase or decrease from the first number to the second number. 140 to 84
tresset_1 [31]
We can automatically see that we are dealing with a percent decrease because we are going from a smaller to a bigger number. We need to first find what percent of 140the number 84 is. to do this we can set up the following equation:

140/84=100/x (this equation is basically saying if 140 is 100(%) what would 84 be?)

solving for x here gives us x = (84 X 100)/140 = 60, so 84 is 60 percent of 140 which means 140 decreased by 40 percent.

Let me know if I can clear anything else up.
