Answer:

The average rate in miles per hour is 8 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with finding what Marco’s average rate is, if he cycles 20 miles in 2 1/2 hours

For calculation simplification, we should know that 2 1/2 hours is same as 2.5 hours

Now mathematically, the average speed = Distance/Time

Thus, our disgrace here is 20 miles and our time taken to cover this distance is 2.5 hours

Thus, the average speed = 20/2.5 = 8 miles/hour

Part 4: Use the information provided to write the vertex formula of each parabola.

sergey [27]

Answer: 1. x = (y - 2)² + 8

$\bold{2.\quad x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

3. y = 2(x +9)² + 7

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Notes: Vertex form is: y =a(x - h)² + k or x =a(y - k)² + h

(h, k) is the vertex
point of vertex is midpoint of focus and directrix: $\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}$

$\bullet\quad a=\dfrac{1}{4p}$

p is the distance from the vertex to the focus

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{-31}{4},2\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{-33}{4}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-31}{4}+\frac{-33}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{-64}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{-16}{2}=-8\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 2}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-8,2)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{-31}{4}-\dfrac{-32}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{4})}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1$

Now, plug in a = 1 and (h, k) = (-8, 2) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

x = (y - 2)² + 8

***************************************************************************************

$focus = \bigg(\dfrac{1}{2},10\bigg)\qquad directrix: x=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\text{Since directrix is x, then the x-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{4}{2}}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1\\\\\text{The y-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: 10}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(1,10)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{2}{2}=\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{-1}{2})}=\dfrac{1}{-2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now, plug in a = -1/2 and (h, k) = (1, 10) into the equation x =a(y - k)² + h

$\bold{x=-\dfrac{1}{2}(y-10)^2}+1$

***************************************************************************************

$focus = \bigg(-9,\dfrac{57}{8}\bigg)\qquad directrix: y=\dfrac{55}{8}\\\\\text{Since directrix is y, then the y-value of the vertex is:}\\\\\dfrac{focus+directrix}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{57}{8}+\frac{55}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{112}{8}}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}=7\\\\\text{The x-value of the vertex is given by the focus as: -9}\\\\\text{vertex (h, k)}=(-9,7)$

Now let's find the a-value:

$p=focus-vertex\\\\p=\dfrac{57}{8}-\dfrac{56}{8}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{4p}=\dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{8})}=\dfrac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}=2$

Now, plug in a = 2 and (h, k) = (-9, 7) into the equation y =a(x - h)² + k

y = 2(x +9)² + 7

A ball is chosen at random from a bag containing 150 balls that are either red or blue and either dull or shiny. There are 36 re

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The probability of the chosen ball being shiny conditional on it being red is; 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that a red ball has been chosen

Let B be the event that a shiny ball has been chosen

Let S be the total outcomes = 150 balls

Thus;

P(A ∩ B ) = 36/150

A ∩ B' = 150 - 36 - 54

A ∩ B' = 60

Thus; P(A ∩ B') = 60/150

P(A') = 54/150

P(A) = (150 - 54)/150 = 96/150

Thus, probability of the chosen ball being shiny conditional on it being red is;

P(B | A) = P(B ∩ A)/P(A)

Thus; P(B | A) = (36/150)/(96/150)

P(B | A) = 0.375
