We have
y²=-12x

the vertex is the point (0,0)------------- > see the attached figure

standard form: (y-k)^2=4p(x-h), with (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the vertex.
vertex(0,0)
4p=-12---- > p=-12/4
p=-3
Focus:(-3,0)

the answer is (-3,0)

What is the mean absolute deviation of the data set?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

B. 2

To find MAD, find the mean of the set, then find how far each number is from the mean. Next, find the mean of THAT set of numbers. Yea, I know it's a bit confusing... don't worry!

Find the mean of the set:

12 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 12

72 / 8

9

Find how far each number is from 9:

12 - 9 = 3

10 - 9 = 1

9 - 8 = 1

9 - 6 = 3

9 - 7 = 2

12 - 9 = 3

Find the mean of that number set:

{3, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3}

3 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 3

16 / 8

2

So the answer is 2!

Not so hard after all :D
