Let's say you had two boxes of cereal labeled A and B. Also let's come up with a hypothetical situation that...

  • box A costs $2 and weighs 10 ounces
  • box B costs $3 and weighs 20 ounces

The question is: which is the better deal? By that I mean which is cheaper per ounce.

-----------------------

For box A, we have this ratio

2 dollars : 10 ounces

If we divide both sides by 10, then we end up with

2/10 dollars : 10/10 ounces

0.20 dollars : 1 ounce

20 cents : 1 ounce

This tells us that the unit rate for box A is 20 cents per ounce. In other words, 1 ounce costs 20 cents or each ounce costs 20 cents.

-----------------------

Do a similar thing for box B

3 dollars : 20 ounces

3/20 dollars : 20/20 ounces

0.15 dollars : 1 ounce

15 cents : 1 ounce

So box B costs 15 cents per ounce

-----------------------

In summary,

Box A's unit rate is 20 cents per ounce

Box B's unit rate is 15 cents per ounce

Box B is the better deal since it's 5 cents cheaper per ounce.

What is the probability of getting a 6 on the first roll, and a number less than five on the second roll
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting 6 = 1/6

Probability of getting less than 5 = 4/6 = 2/3

The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola . The parabola is represented on the coordinate p
Colt1911 [192]
The boundary of the lawn in front of a building is represented by the parabola

y = (x^2) /16 + x - 2

And you have three questions which require to find the focus, the vertex and the directrix of the parabola.

Note that it is a regular parabola (its symmetry axis is paralell to the y-axis).

1) Focus:

It is a point on the symmetry axis => x = the x-component of the vertex) at a distance equal to the distance between the directrix and the vertex).

In a regular parabola, the y - coordinate of the focus is p units from the y-coordinate of the focus, and p is equal to 1/(4a), where a is the coefficient that appears in this form of the parabola's equation: y = a(x - h)^2 + k (this is called the vertex form)

Then we will rearrange the standard form, (x^2)/16 + x - 2 fo find the vertex form y = a(x-h)^2 + k

What we need is to complete a square. You can follow these steps.

1) Extract common factor 1/16 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16x - 32]

2) Add (and subtract) the square of the half value of the coefficent ot the term on x =>

16/2 = 8 => add and subtract 8^2 => (1/16) [ (x^2) + 16 x + 8^2 - 32 - 8^2]

3) The three first terms inside the square brackets are a perfect square trinomial: =>

(1/16) [ (x+8)^2 - 32 - 64] = (1/16) [ (x+8)^2  - 96] =>

(1/16) [(x+8)^2 ] - 96/16 =>

(1/16) (x +8)^2 -  6

Which is now in the form a(x - h)^2 + k,
where:

a = 1/16 , h = - 8, and k = -6

(h,k) is the vertex: h is the x-coordinate of the vertex, and k is the y-coordinate of the vertex.

=> a = 1/16 => p =1/4a = 16/4 = 4
 
y-componente of the focus = -6 + 4 = -2

x-component of the focus = h = - 8

=> focus = (-8, -2)

2) Vertex

We found it above, vertex = (h,k) = (-8,-6)


3) Directrix

It is the line y = p units below the vertex = > y = -6 - 4 = -10

y = -10
