What is the equation of the quadratic graph with a focus of (-4,17/8) and a directrix of y=15/8

So hmm notice the graph below

based on where the focus point is at, and the directrix, then, the parabola is opening upwards, meaning the squared variable is the "x"

\bf \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}

now, keep in mind, the vertex is at coordinates h,k
the vertex itself is half-way between the focus and directrix
the directrix is at y=15/8 and the focus is at y=17/8
so, half-way will then be \bf \cfrac{17}{8}-\cfrac{15}{8}=\cfrac{2}{8}\iff \cfrac{1}{4}

well, so is 1/4 between the focus point and the directrix, half of that is 1/8
so, if you move from the focus point 1/8 down, you'll get the y-coordinate for the vertex, or 1/8 up from the directrix, since the vertex is equidistant to either

what's the "p" distance? well, we just found it, is just 1/8

so, the x-coordinate is obviously -4, get the y-coordinate by 17/8 - 1/8   or 15/8 + 1/8

and plug your values (x-h)² = 4p(y-k)   and then solve for "y", that's the equation of the quadratic

Answer:

Range = 45

Median = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the attached box and whisker plot :

From the plot :

Maximum value = 95

Minimum value = 50

The median value can be obtained from the box and whisker plot. The median value from the plot is ; the green dotted point inside the box :

This point is marked 75.

Hence, median value = 75

Range = maximum - minimum

Range =. 95 - 50 = 45

A box of donuts containing 6 maple bars, 3 chocolate donuts, and 3 custard filled donuts is sitting on a counter in a work offic
Svetlanka [38]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of selecting a kind of donut from the box.

The probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is 0.068

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Bars = 6}

\mathbf{Chocolate = 3}

\mathbf{Custard= 3}

The total number of donuts in the box is:

\mathbf{Total= 6 + 3 + 3}

\mathbf{Total= 12}

The probability of eating a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is calculated using:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{Chocolate}{Total}\times \frac{Custard}{Total-1}}

So, we have:

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{12-1}}

Simplify

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{3}{12}\times \frac{3}{11}}

Multiply

\mathbf{Pr = \frac{9}{132}}

Divide

\mathbf{Pr = 0.068}

Hence, the probability that Warren eats a chocolate donut, and then a custard filled donut is approximately 0.068
