Your new flashlight uses a parabolic mirror which can be modeled by the equation (x – 2)² = 5(y + 1), where x and y are measured

in centimeters. You need to place a new light bulb in your flashlight. How far away from the vertex of the parabolic mirror should you place the bulb to ensure a perfect beam of light?

The given equation is
(x - 2)² = 5(y + 1).

The given equation for the parabola is in the standard form
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k)
where
h = 2
4p = 5,    so that  p = 5/4
k = -1

The vertex is at 
(h,k) or (2, -1)

The focus is located at
(h, k + p) or (2, -1 + 5/4) = (2, 1/4)

We should place the bulb at p = 5/4 from the vertex.

Answer: 1 1/4 or 1.25 cm

Which of the following are true about regression with one predictor variable (often called "simple regression")? Check all that
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<h3>A. The slope describes the amount of change in Y for a one-unit increase in X .</h3><h3>B. The regression equation is the line that best fits a set of data as determined by having the least squared error.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics, linear regression is a analysis we do to describe the relationship between two variables. With this study, we pretend to know if there's a positive or negative correlation between those variables, if that correlation is strong or weak.

In a linear regression analysis, we modeled the data set using a regression equation, which is basically the line that best fits to the data set, this line is like the average where the majority of data falls. That means choice A is right.

When we use linear equations, we need to know its characteristics, and the most important one is the slope, which is the ratio between the dependent variable and the independent variable. Basically, the slope states the unit rate between Y and X, in other words, it states the amount of Y per unit of X. That means choice B is correct.

Therefore, the correct answers are A and B.
