Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

From any point (x, y) on the parabola the focus and directrix are equidistant

Using the distance formula

\sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-5)^2} = | y + 1 |

Squaring both sides

(x + 5)² + (y - 5)² = (y + 1)^2 , that is

(y + 1)² = (x + 5)² + (y - 5)² ← subtract (y - 5)² from both sides

(y + 1)² - (y - 5)² = (x + 5)² ← expand left side and simplify

y² + 2y + 1 - y² + 10y - 25 = (x + 5)²

12y - 24 = (x + 5)² ← factor left side

12(y - 2) = (x + 5)² ← divide both sides by 12

y - 2 = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² ← add 2 to both sides

y = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2

or

f(x) = \frac{1}{12} (x + 5)² + 2 → D

C(5,4)(.40)^4(1-.40)^1=5(.4)^4(.6)^1=0.0768

That's 7.68% = 7.7% (rounded)

Note: C(5, 4) is the number of combinations of 5 things taken 4 at a time. You may have seen this written as _5C_4

In general, C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

The answer is -4 because 4+2 is equal to 6 and then 6-2 is equal to 4 and then times into the number of 2 the answer is 4x2 is equal to 8 and then minus into the negative 5 an the answer is -4.
