Answer:

The demonstration is showed below

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance betwenn two points is given by:

d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

If the point is equidistant from a point and a line, the distance must be equal. For the line let's select the point (x,-4), because the distance will be ortogonal, and is the small distance between a point and a line. So:

\sqrt{(x-2)^2+(y-0)^2}  = \sqrt{(x-x)^2+(y+4)^2}

Removing the squares:

(x-2)² + y² = (y+4)²

(x-2)² + y² = y² + 8y + 16

y² - y² - 8y = 16 - (x-2)²

8y = (x-2)² - 16

y = (1/8)*(x-2)² - 16/8

y = (1/8)*(x-2)² - 2

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hey i got the answer straight from my teach but ony a and c if you have the answer to b let me know  :  ( A) To determine the mean absolute deviation, first calculate the mean. Find the sum of the values: 8 plus 6 plus 9 plus 6 plus 14 plus 9 plus 5 plus 7 equals 64. Then divide the sum by the number of values: 64 divided by 8 equals 8. The mean is 8.

Next, find the distance of each value from the mean :

|8-8|=0 |6-8|=2 |9-8|=1 |6-8|=2 |14-8|=6 |9-8|=1 |5-8|=3 |7-8|=1

0 plus 2 plus 1 plus 2 plus 6 plus 1 plus 3 plus 1 equals 16. Then divide the sum of absolute deviations by the number of data values: 16 divided by 8 equals 2. The MAD of the data is 2.

 

C.  Since the MAD for the vegetable plant data is so much higher than the MAD for the flower data, this indicates that the heights of the vegetable plants vary more than the heights of the flowers    ALSO do you go to k12

Cole said All prime numbers are odd and all composite numbers are even do you agree with cole?
Anit [1.1K]
A prime number is such that it is divisible by only itself and one. ... Two is a prime because it is divisible by only two and one. All the other even numbers are not prime because they are all divisible by two. That leaves only the odd numbers.
