A positive binary number is even precisely when its last digit is 0. When is a negative 2's complement number even?

Answer:

A negative 2’s complement number is even precisely when its last digit is 0 as well.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof part 1: Assume there exists a 2’s complement negative even number which ends with 1. We  can, therefore, express this number as

1 ..... 1  = - (2’s complement of 1 ....1)

         = - (0 ...  1 )

         ≠ even

Since we know precisely that a positive binary number is not even when it ends with a 1. This is  a conflict with our assumption. Our assumption is, therefore, wrong.

Proof part 2: Assume there exists a 2’s complement negative odd number which ends with 0. We  can, therefore, express this number as

1 ..... 0  = - (2’s complement of 1 ....0)

         = - (0 ...  0 )

         = even

Since we know precisely that a positive binary number is even when it ends with a 0. This is a  conflict with our assumption. Our assumption is, therefore, wrong.

Answer: 2r(0)/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given one Important data or o or parameter in the question above and that is the function of the form which is given below(that is);

S(r) = (r0 - r) ar^2 -----------------------------(1).

We will now have to differentiate S(r) with respect to r, so, check below for the differentiation:

dS/dr = 2ar (r0 - r ) + ar^2 (-1 ) ---------;(2).

dS/dr = 2ar(r0) - 2ar^2 - ar^2.

dS/dr = - 3ar^2 + 2ar(r0) ------------------(3).

Note that dS/dr = 0.

Hence, - 3ar^2 + 2ar(r0) = 0.

Making ra the subject of the formula we have;

ra[ - 3r + 2r(0) ] = 0. -------------------------(4).

Hence, r = 0 and r = 2r(0) / 3.

If we take the second derivative of S(r) too, we will have;

d^2S/dr = -6ar + 2ar(0). -------------------(5).

+ 2ar(0) > 0 for r = 0; and r = 2r(0)/3 which is the greatest.

What are the vertex focus and directrix of the parabola with the given equation <br> y=1/28(x-4)^2-5
patriot [66]
If the parabola is rotated so that its vertex is (h,k) and its axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis, it has an equation of (x - h)^2<span> = 4p(y - k)</span><span>, where the </span>focus<span> is (h, k+p) and the </span>directrix<span> is y = k - p. So, we need to determine the values from the equation.

</span><span>y=1/28(x-4)^2-5
</span>(x-4)^2 = 28(y+5)<span>
(h,k) = (4, -5)
p = 7

focus= </span>(h, k+p) = 4,2
directrix = y = k - p = -12

Hope this answers the question.
