The vertex of the parabola is between the shortest line connecting its focus and directrix, so between (0, -4) and y = 4 is the point (0, 0), which is the vertex of the parabola. Also, this parabola faces downward.
The general formula for a parabola that faces downward is y = -4cx^2, where c is the distance from the vertex to either to focus or the parabola. Since c = 4, the equation is y = -16x^2, which is choice A.

Equation of parabola with focus at (0,-4) and directrix is y=4 .

As we know parabola is the locus of all the points such that distance from fixed point on the parabola to fixed line directrix is same.

The parabola is opening downwards.

Let any point on parabola is (x,y).

Distance from focus(0,-4) to (x,y) = \sqrt{(x-0)^{2} +(y+4) ^{2}}=\sqrt{x^{2}+ (y+4)^{2}}

Distance from (x,y) to directrix, y=4 is =\left | y-4 \right |

As these distances are equal.

\sqrt{x^{2}+ (y+4)^{2}}=\left | y-4 \right |\\{x^{2}+ (y+4)^{2}=(y-4)^{2}

→x²+y²+8 y +16 = y² - 8 y+16

→ x² = -8 y - 8 y= -16 y   [ Cancelling y² and 16 from L.H.S and R.H.S ]

So , equation of parabola is , x²= - 16 y or f(x)= -x²/16

f(x)=13|x-5|-6 is the equation represented by all the operations.

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

The given function is

f(x)=|x|

It is vertically compressed by a factor of 13 then the function becomes,

f(x)=13|x|

It shifted down 6 units, then the function becomes,

\mathbf{f}(\mathbf{x})=\mathbf{1 3}|\boldsymbol{x}|-\boldsymbol{6}

It shifted right by 5 units then the function becomes,

f(x)=13|x-5|-6

Thus the resultant equation thus obtained is  f(x)=13|x-5|-6

You bet $50 on 00 in a game of roulette. If the wheel spins 00, you have a net win of $1,750, otherwise you lose the $50. A stan
sesenic [268]

Answer:

-$2.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the expected profit for one spin of the roulette wheel with this bet

Based on the information given you bet $50 on 00 while the standard roulette has 38 possible outcomes which means that the probability or likelihood of getting 00 will be 1/38.

Therefore when we get an 00, we would get the amount of $1,750 with a probability of 1/38 and in a situation where were we get something other than 00 this means we would lose $50 with a probability of 37/38.

Now let find the Expected profit using this formula

Expected profit = sum(probability*value) -sum(probability*value)

Let plug in the formula

Expected profit =($1,750 * 1/38) - ($50 * 37/38)

Expected profit=($1,750*0.026315)-($50×0.973684)

Expected profit= 46.05 - 48.68

Expected profit = - $2.63

Therefore the expected profit for one spin of the roulette wheel with this bet will be -$2.63
