Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

From the graph (h, k) = (2, - 1), thus

y = a(x - 2)² - 1

To find a substitute a point on the curve (0, 1) into the equation

1 = 4a - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

4a = 2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}, hence

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 2)² - 1 ← in vertex form

Expand the factor and simplify

y = \frac{1}{2}(x² - 4x + 4) - 1

  = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 2 - 1

  = \frac{1}{2} x² - 2x + 1 ← in standard form

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equation of parabola is:

                  y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+(-2)x+1

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We know that the vertex form of the equation of parabola is given by:

                 y=a(x-h)^2+k

where the vertex of the parabola is (h,k).

Now, from the graph i.e. provided to us we see that the vertex of the parabola is located at (2,-1)

i.e.

(h,k)=(2,-1)

i.e.

h=2 and k= -1

Hence, we have the equation of the parabola as:

y=a(x-2)^2+(-1)\\\\i.e.\\\\y=a(x-2)^2-1

Now, with the help of a passing through point of the parabola we may easily obtain the value of a.

The parabola passes through (0,1)

Hence, on putting x=0 and y=1 we have:

1=a(0-2)^2-1\\\\i.e.\\\\1=a\times 4-1\\\\i.e.\\\\4a-1=1\\\\i.e.\\\\4a=1+1\\\\i.e.\\\\4a=2\\\\i.e.\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{4}\\\\i.e.\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, the equation of parabola will be:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2-1

On expanding the square term we have:

y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x^2+(-2)^2-2\times x\times 2)-1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}(x^2+4-4x)-1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-4x)-1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2+2-2x-1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-2x+2-1\\\\i.e.\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^2-2x+1

A school principal wants to know more about the number of students absent each day. He counts the number of students absent each
True [87]

Answer:

6.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to obtain the standard deviation of the given values :

{24, 18, 31,25, 34}

The standard deviation = √(Σ(x - mean)²/ n)

The mean = (ΣX) /n

Using calculator to save computation time :

The standard deviation, s = 6.27 (2 decimal places)

A box with a rectangular base and open top must have a volume of 128 f t 3 . The length of the base is twice the width of base.
noname [10]

Answer:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 128ft^3

L = 2W

Base\ Cost = \$9/ft^2

Sides\ Cost = \$6/ft^2

Required

The dimension that minimizes the cost

The volume is:

Volume = LWH

This gives:

128 = LWH

Substitute L = 2W

128 = 2W * WH

128 = 2W^2H

Make H the subject

H = \frac{128}{2W^2}

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

The surface area is:

Area = Area of Bottom + Area of Sides

So, we have:

A = LW + 2(WH + LH)

The cost is:

Cost = 9 * LW + 6 * 2(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12(WH + LH)

Cost = 9 * LW + 12H(W + L)

Substitute: H = \frac{64}{W^2} and L = 2W

Cost =9*2W*W + 12 * \frac{64}{W^2}(W + 2W)

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{768}{W^2}*3W

Cost =18W^2 +  \frac{2304}{W}

To minimize the cost, we differentiate

C' =2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2}

Then set to 0

2*18W +  -1 * 2304W^{-2} =0

36W - 2304W^{-2} =0

Rewrite as:

36W = 2304W^{-2}

Divide both sides by W

36 = 2304W^{-3}

Rewrite as:

36 = \frac{2304}{W^3}

Solve for W^3

W^3 = \frac{2304}{36}

W^3 = 64

Take cube roots

W = 4

Recall that:

L = 2W

L = 2 * 4

L = 8

H = \frac{64}{W^2}

H = \frac{64}{4^2}

H = \frac{64}{16}

H = 4

Hence, the dimension that minimizes the cost is:

Width = 4ft

Height = 4ft

Length = 8ft
