Given equation : y=ax^2
Taking a to the other side we have, x^2=(1/a)*y
This equation describes a parabola that opens up.
When a is negative, the focus is on the negative y-axis, therefore, the parabola opens down.
The answer is a. down.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a power to a power problem. -3 times 2 equals-6. Usually when a number is raised to a negative power, the number is the denominator over 1...with the exponent in the denominator ad well. 5 to the -6 power is 15,605 which is the same as 1/5 to the 6th power....1/15,605

Answer:

Probability distribution for x:

$P(x=0)=0.3644\\\\P(x=1)=0.4373\\\\P(x=2)=0.1749\\\\P(x=3)=0.0233\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the number of defective sets in the group of TV sets (variable x) as a binomial variable, with sample size=3 and probability of success p=2/7≈0.2857.

The probability of k defective sets in the group is:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}$

So, we have this probabilty distribution for x:

$P(x=0) = \dbinom{3}{0} p^{0}q^{3}=1*1*0.3644=0.3644\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{3}{1} p^{1}q^{2}=3*0.2857*0.5102=0.4373\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{3}{2} p^{2}q^{1}=3*0.0816*0.7143=0.1749\\\\\\P(x=3) = \dbinom{3}{3} p^{3}q^{0}=1*0.0233*1=0.0233\\\\\\$
