Chad buys peanuts in 2 pounds bags. He repackages them into bags that hold 5/6 pound of peanuts. How many 2 pound bags of peanut

s should Chad buy so that he can fill the 5/6 pound bags without having any peanuts left over?

Think about it this way, that for every 5/6 pound bag you are losing 1/6 and 1/6*12=2 therefore the answer is 12

For a Standard Normal Distribution

Serggg [28]

In your question where ask to find the Standard Normal Distribution of the following:

give probabilities for 0<Z<infinity. For these ranges, you can read directly, for example, P(Z<1.96)=0.975. So for #1, you read directly on the line 1.3 and column 0.03. For #2, we note that the distribution is symmetrical about Z=0, so P(Z<-2.33) is the same as P(Z>2.33) which again is the same as 1-P(Z<2.33) because we know that the area under a probability distribution function adds up to 1. For the remaining questions, work is similar to #2.

Polygon Q is a scaled copy of polygon P using a scale factor of 1/2. Polygon Q's area is what fraction of Polygon P's area.

DaniilM [7]

Answer: Polygon Q's area is 1/4 of Polygon P's area

======================================================

Explanation:

Imagine we had a square with side length 8. The area of this square is 8*8 = 64.

Now let's reduce each side of the square by the scale factor 1/2. So each new side is 8*(1/2) = 4. The area of this smaller square is 4*4 = 16.

Comparing the new area (16) to the old one (64), we see that the new area is 16/64 = 1/4 of the old area.

In other words,

new smaller area = (1/4)*(old larger area)

So this is one example to see why (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/4 is the area scale factor based on the linear scale factor of 1/2. In short, (1/2)^2 = 1/4. Whatever the original scale factor is, square it and you'll get the area scale factor.

Solve the following problem.

Serggg [28]

<span>It costs 19.48, because $16,421.40 / 843 comes out to 19.479, and 19.479 rounds to 19.48. So the answer is B $19.48.

Hope this helps :)</span>

What is the equation of a parabola with (−2, 4) as its focus and y = 6 as its directrix? Enter the equation in the box.

SOVA2 [1]

Notice the picture below

the directrix is above the focus point, meaning the parabola is vertical and is opening downwards

now, "p" is the distance from the vertex to the focus point or the directrix, so that means, the vertex is between those two fellows, over the axis of symmetry, x = -2, since "p" is 1 unit, that puts the vertex at -2,5

since the parabola is opening downwards, that means the "p" value is negative, so is -1

$\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}}) }\\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\$

$\bf \begin{cases}
p=-1\\
h=-2\\
k=5
\end{cases}\implies (x-(-2))^2=4(-1)(y-5)
\\\\\\
(x+2)^2=-4(y-5)\implies 
-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2=y-5
\\\\\\
\boxed{-\cfrac{1}{4}(x+2)^2+5=y}$
