Answer:
The independent variable is the dose of the drug given to each participant.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the current experiment each patient's initial level of pain is going to be the <em>initial condition </em>for the experiment. We're going to measure the final level of pain and we'll try to find any correlation between the variation in the level of pain and the number of milligrams of the drug given to each patient, so that last one (the dose of the drug) is the independent variable because is the one variable that we're going to modify in order to see the effect that it has in the final measurement.
Area of the first one is has a area of 162
the second one has a area of 189
the third one has an area of 162
the fourth one has a area of 12
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have the following equation of a parabola, given in the problem above:
x<span>=1/16y^2
2. Then, based on the graph attached, you have:
p=y^2/4x
p=8^2/(4)(4)
p=64/16
p=4
3. The directrix is:
directrix=h-p
directrix=0-4
directrix=-4
The answer is:-4</span>
We have to mutiply factor -2/3 times every agument from the parenthesis.

/+8b
8+6b=-4 /-8
6b=-12 /:6
b=-2 - its the answer
