The general form of an parabola is 2x2−12x−3y+12=0 .

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The standard form of the parabola is $(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is

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

In order to convert $2x^2-12x-3y+12=0$ into the standard form, we first separate the variables:

$2x^2-12x+3y+12=0\\\\2x^2-12x+12=3y$

we now divided both sides by 2 to remove the coefficient from $2x^2$ and get:

$x^2-6x+6=\frac{3}{2}y$ .

We complete the square on the left side by adding 3 to both sides:

$x^2-6x+6+3=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

$x^2-6x+9=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

$(x-3)^2=\frac{3}{2}y+3$

now we bring the right side into the form $4p(y-k)$ by first multiplying the equation by $\frac{2}{3}$ :

$\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=\frac{2}{3} *(\frac{3}{2}y+3)\\\\\frac{2}{3} *(x-3)^2=y+2$

and then we multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ to get

$(x-3)^2=\frac{3}{2} (y+2)$ .

Here we see that

$4p=\frac{3}{2}$

$\therefore p=\frac{3}{8}$

Thus, finally we have the equation of the parabola in the standard form:

$\boxed{(x-3)^2=4*\frac{3}{8}(y+2)}$

The owner of a small deli is trying to decide whether to discontinue selling magazines. He suspects that only 10% of his custome

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

0.55% probability that exactly 5 out of the first 13 customers buy a magazine

Step-by-step explanation:

For each customer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they buy a magazine, or they do not. The probability of a customer buying a magazine is independent of other customers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
