Answer:

Vertex =(5,7)

Latus rectum = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a parabola can be expressed as x = a(y-h)²+k where 'a' is a constant and (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola.

Comparing the general equation with the given equation x= 1/2(y - 5)² + 7, it can be seen that a = 1/2, h = 5 and k = 7. Hence the vertex of the equation is (5,7) on comparison.

The length of the latus rectum of a parabola is 4a

On comparing the equation with the general equation, a = 1/2

Length of the latus rectum = 4(1/2)

Length of the latus rectum = 4/2 = 2

Hence the vertex is (5,7) and the length of latus rectum is 2

A 7-pack of tickets to the zoo costs $78.61. What is the unit price?

vredina [299]

Answer:

$11.23

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit price divide the price by the product. For example, 12 ounces of juice costs $2.45. You divide $2.45 by 12 ounces. The unit price would be $0.20.

If the weight (in grams) of cereal in a box of Lucky Charms is N(489,6), what is the probability that the box will contain less

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

0.000064 = 0.0064% probability that the box will contain less than the advertised weight of 466 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

N(489,6)

This means that $\mu = 489, \sigma = 6$
