Answer:

y = (x^2)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of this parabola is halfway between the focus (0,1) and the directrix y = -1. Thus, the vertex is at (0,0). The variable p represents the distance between focus and vertex, which is 1.

Thus, adapting the general formula for the equation of a parabola, we have:

4(1)y=x^2, or 4y = x^2, or y = (x^2)/4.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it's a negative, then we could assume that it is a negative correlation. And because it's closer to -1, it is a strong negative correlation.

Select all the pairs that could be reasonable approximations for the diameter and circumference of a cirlce 5 meters and 22 mete

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Option a) circle 5 meters and 22 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

A pair of diameter and the circumference is given. We have to find a correct approximations for the diameter and circumference.

a) circle 5 meters and 22 meters

$\text{Diameter} = 5\text{ meters}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 5 = 15.7\text{ meters}$

b) 19 inches and 50 inches

$\text{Diameter} = 19\text{ inches}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 19 = 59.66\text{ inches}$

c) 33 centimeters and 80 centimeters

$\text{Diameter} = 33\text{ centimeters}\\\text{Circumference} = \pi d = 3.14\times 33 =103.62\text{ centimeters}$

Thus, no pair gives a reasonable approximation. Only the circle with diameter 5 and circumference 22 meters have closest approximation.

Brut [27]

Answer:

A. If we consider two right triangles one Δ ABD and Δ BCE, where D(2,100) and E(1,60) points

B. From the graph, it is clear that the initial value of the graph is 60 m and it represents the initial position of the shark i.e. at t = 0 min, the shark was at a depth of 60 m from the water surface.

The slope of the graph is 40 means the rate of change of distance from the Ocean surface of the shark with respect to time in minutes will be 40 m per min.
