The equation of parabola is y=\frac{1}{10}\left(x-1\right)^{2}-2

Comparing with the vertex form of the parabola: y=a(x-h)^2+k

a=\frac{1}{10},h=1,k=-2

Hence, the vertex of the parabola is given by (h,k) = (1, -2)

Now, vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point on the directrix.

Distance, between vertex and focus is p and that of point on the directrix is p.

Now, let us find p

p=\frac{1}{4a}\\\\p=\frac{1}{4\cdot1/10}\\\\p=\frac{5}{2}

Thus, the focus is given by

(h,k+p)\\\\=(1,-2+5/2)\\\\=(1,1/2)=(1,0.5)

And the directrix is given by

y=k-p\\\\y=-2-5/2\\\\y=-\frac{9}{2}

Since, a >0 hence, it is an upward parabola.

The graph is shown in the attached file.

Nestor works at a garden center where he posts plants. It takes him 2 1/2 hours to pot 15 plants. How many plants can Nestor pot
guapka [62]

Answer:

Nestor can pot 6 plants in 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

first lets convert 2 1/2 hours in mixed fraction form for better calculation

2 1/2 hours = (2*2 + 1)/2 = 5/2 hours

no of plants pot in  5/2 hours = 15

to find no. of plants pot in 1 hours lets

divide both side by 5/2

no of plants pot in  5/2/(5/2)  hours = 15/(5/2) = 15*2/5 = 6

no. of plants pot in 1 hour = 6

Thus, Nestor can pot 6 plants in 1 hour.

Use the regression calculator to compare the teams’ number of runs with their number of wins. a 2-column table with 9 rows. colu
-Dominant- [34]

The equation of the trend line is ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21

<h3>How to determine the average rate of change of the trend line?</h3>

The points are given as:

hr =>808, 768, 655, 684, 637, 619, 613, 609, 563

w =>  93, 94, 66, 81, 86, 75, 61, 69, 55.

Using a graphing calculator, we have the following calculation summary:

  • Sum of X = 5956
  • Sum of Y = 680
  • Mean X = 661.7778
  • Mean Y = 75.5556
  • Sum of squares (SSX) = 50569.5556
  • Sum of products (SP) = 7547.1111

The regression equation is represented as:

ŷ = bX + a

Where:

b = SP/SSX

b = 7547.11/50569.56

b = 0.14924

a = MY - bMX

a = 75.56 - (0.15*661.78)

a  = -23.20961

This gives

ŷ = 0.14924X - 23.20961

Approximate

ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21

Hence, the equation of the trend line is ŷ = 0.15x - 23.21
