The standard equation for a parabola that opens upward parallel to the y-axis is x2=4ay, where a = distance from the vertex to focus. Vertex is at origin(0,0)
4a=2
a=2/4
a=1/2 or 0.5
the coordinate of the focus is (0, 1/2)
the equation of the directrix is y=-1/2

A geologist studying the depths of water in a mountain lake finds that it has changed from 8,300 ft to 8,881 ft over a period of
grigory [225]

Answer:

7.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the percentage increase

mathematically, we have the formula for this as follows ;

(new value - old value/old value * 100%

from the question, old value is 8,300 ft and the new value is 8,881 ft

So we have the percentage increase as follows;

(8,881 - 8,300)/8,300 * 100%

= 7.0%

The average time an individual reads online national news reports is 49 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is 16 minutes and
Olin [163]

Answer:

0.118 is the probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 49 minutes

Standard Deviation, σ = 16 minutes

We are given that the distribution of  time an individual reads is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(no more than 30 minutes)

P( x \leq 610) = P( z \leq \displaystyle\frac{30 - 49}{16}) = P(z \leq -1.1875)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x \leq 30) = 0.118 = 11.8\%

0.118 is the probability someone will spend no more than 30 minutes reading online national news reports.

Chanasia has 8.75 gallons of paint. She wants to use 2 5 of the paint to paint her living room. How many gallons of paint will C
GaryK [48]

Answer: 3.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that Chanasia has 8.75 gallons of paint and that she wants to use 2/5 of the paint to paint her living room.

The gallons of paint that Chanasia will use be gotten by multiplying 2/5 by 8.75 gallons. This will be:

= 2/5 × 8.75 gallons

= 0.4 × 8.75 gallons

= 3.5 gallons.

This means that Chanasia will use 3.5 gallons to paint her living room

Setler [38]
If you would like to know the bike wheel's diameter in millimeters, you can calculate this using the following steps:

26 inches in diameter
1 inch = 25.4 millimeters
26 inches = 26 * 1 inch = 26 * 25.4 millimeters = 660.4 millimeters

The correct result would be 660.4 millimeters in diameter.
