Which of the following equations describes the set of all points (x, y) that are equidistant from the x-axis and the point (4, 6

)? (A) (x - 4)^2 + (y - 6)^2 = 9 (B) (x - 4)^2 = 12(y - 3) (C) (y - 3)^2 = 12(x - 4) (D) (x - 4)^2 = 6(y - 3) (E) (x - 4)^2 = 12(y - 6) Why is the answer choice (B)? And also, why not choice (D)?

Answer

The option B is the right answer because the vertex is (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the canonical equation of the parabola:

(X-h) ^ 2 = 4p (y-k)

The values (h, k) correspond to the coordinates (x, y) of the vertex.

In the definition of the problem it is said that the guideline of the parabola is the X axis, that is, the line Y = 0 and the focus is the point (4,6).

If the vertex were the point (4.6) the correct option would be option D

But the vertex is located at the midpoint of the segment defined by the focus points (4, 6) and the point (4, 0) that is on the parabola directrix. therefore, as the vertex is the point (4.3). the correct option is B.

An auto maker estimates that the mean gas mileage of its sports utility vehicle is at least 20 miles per gallon. A random sample
Nady [450]

Answer:

Yes, we reject the auto maker's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

H0 : μ ≥ 20

H1 : μ < 20

Sample mean, xbar = 18 ;

Sample size, n = 36

Standard deviation, s = 5

At α = 0.01

The test statistic :

(xbar - μ) ÷ s /sqrt(n)

(18 - 20) ÷ 5/sqrt(36)

-2 /0.8333333

= - 2.4

Pvalue from test statistic : Pvalue = 0.00819

Pvalue < α

0.00819 < 0.01

Hence, we reject the Null

Help me ASAP please I don't understand it please help It is dued by TONIGHT
Sergeu [11.5K]

So, the first blank is for what kind of angle it is: acute, obtuse, reflex, straight, or right. The second blank is for what the measure of the angle is. You can find that out by looking at the protractor. It should tell you what the measure of the angle is. You can read the protractor by looking at the numbers. The numbers are the degrees of incline the angle measures, which is what you're looking for.
