A) angle 1 = angle 2 - Incorrect

These angles are only on one of the following lines, which means that they do not show that lines C and D are parallel. In addition, angles 1 and 2 are supplementary, so they could not be equal.

B) angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 - Incorrect

Though this is true, this does not prove that lines C and D are parallel because both of these angles are on the same line.

C) angle 2 = angle 3 - Correct

These angles are alternate interior angles and there are angles on both lines, which proves that lines C and D are parallel.

D) angle 2 + angle 3 = 180 - Incorrect

These angles are equivalent, so they cannot add up to 180 degrees unless the intersecting line was perpendicular to both lines C and D.

Hope this helps!! :)

Given the parabola below, find the endpoints of the latus rectum. (x-2)^2=-20(y+2)

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The endpoints of the latus rectum are $(12, -7)$ and $(-8, -7)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with vertex at point $C(x, y) = (h,k)$ and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:

$(x-h)^{2} = 4\cdot p \cdot (y-k)$ (1)

Where:

$y$ - Independent variable.

$x$ - Dependent variable.

$p$ - Distance from vertex to the focus.

$h$ , $k$ - Coordinates of the vertex.

The coordinates of the focus are represented by:

$F(x,y) = (h, k+p)$ (2)

The <em>latus rectum</em> is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that $h = 2$ , $k = -2$ and $p = -5$ , then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:

By (2):

$F(x,y) = (2, -2-5)$

$F(x,y) = (2,-7)$

By (1):

$(x-2)^{2} = -20\cdot (-7+2)$

$(x-2)^{2} = 100$

$x - 2 = \pm 10$

There are two solutions:

$x_{1} = 2 + 10$

$x_{1} = 12$

$x_{2} = 2-10$

$x_{2} = -8$

Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are $(12, -7)$ and $(-8, -7)$ .

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 90% confidence interval is given by: (0.6350, 0.6984).

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which:

$\pi$ is the sample proportion.

z is the critical value.

n is the sample size.

In this problem, we have a 90% confidence level, hence $\alpha = 0.9$ , z is the value of Z that has a p-value of $\frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95$ , so the critical value is z = 1.645.
