Answer:

B)

Focus = (6,6), directrix is y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the locus of a point that is equidistant from a fixed line (known as directrix) and a fixed point (known as focus).

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is given as:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

It can be further simplified to:

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

The directrix of this parabola is given at line y = k - p and the focus is at (h, k + p)

Given that:

y = \frac{1}{4}(x-6)^2+ 5 \\(y-5)=\frac{1}{4}(x-6)^2\\(x-6)^2=4(y-5)

Comparing (x-6)² = 4(y-5) with (x-h)² = 4p(y-k), It can be gotten that h = 6, p =1 and k = 5

The directrix of this parabola is given at line y = k - p = 5 - 1 = 4 and the focus is at (h, k + p) =  (6, 5+1) = (6, 6)

Focus = (6,6), directrix is y = 4

The answer to a,b and c
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

16/45; 4/45; 1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you know that 4/9 and 1/5 are used, make them common denominators. So 4/9 would turn into 20/45 and 1/5 would be 9/45. It results in 29/45, but that is the amount spent, so you would subtract 45-29/45, resulting in 16/45. For B, you know that she spent 3/4 of the savings, so you know that 1/4 is not being spent. So use 1/4 multiplied by 16/45 from part A to get 4/45. For C, you know that 4/45 is $100, so I multiplied 45x100 to get 4500 and then divided by 4 to get 4500/4.

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20
densk [106]

Answer:

P_{20} = 20 --- 20th percentile

P_{25} = 21.75  --- 25th percentile

P_{65} = 27.85   --- 65th percentile

P_{75} = 29.5   --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}

P_{20} = 1.8th\ item

This is then calculated as:

P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5

P_{20} = 16 + 4

P_{20} = 20

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}

P_{25} = 2.25\ th

This is then calculated as:

P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.75

P_{25} = 21.75

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}

P_{65} = 5.85\th

This is then calculated as:

P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85

P_{65} = 27.85

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}

P_{75} = 6.75th

This is then calculated as:

P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)

P_{75} = 28 + 1.5

P_{75} = 29.5
