I already found the vertex, but can someone help me find the latus rectum of this parabola?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x²+7

vertex(0,7)

the length of latus rectum in a parabola equal to four times the focal length :

y=x²+7

focus X=-b/2a=0

focus Y=c- (b²-1)/4a=7+1/4=29/4

focus (0 , 29/4)

latus rectum is 29/4

(x-h)^2 = 4p (y-k)   4p is the length of the latus rectum with vertex(0,7)

(0-0)²=4p(29/4-7)

0=29p-28p=1p

the length of the latus rectum is 1

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

The short answer is that <em>the length of the latus rectum is the reciprocal of the magnitude of the leading coefficient</em>.

In y = x^2 +7, the leading coefficient is 1.

  latus rectum = 1/|1| = 1

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

\frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in a recent​ year, 304 of the approximately​ 300,000,000 people in the United States were struck by lightning.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of possible outcomes}}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{304}{300,000,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=\frac{19}{18,750,000}

\text{P( A randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year)}=0.0000010133333333

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected person in the United States will be struck by lightning this year is \frac{19}{18,750,000}=0.0000010133333333.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

-72=-72

Step-by-step explanation:

5n-42=12n

n=-6

5*(-6)-42 = 12*(-6)

-30-42=-72

-72=-72

So, n= -6 is the right number for this equation
