Where does the normal line to the parabola y = x − x2 at the point (1, 0) intersect the parabola a second time?

Ksivusya [100]

Find the line that is normal to the parabola at the given point
remember that normal means perpendicular
perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to -1
we can use point slope form to write the equation of the line since we are given the point (1,0)

we just need the slope

take derivitive
y'=1-2x
at x=1
y'=1-2(1)
y'=1-2
y'=-1

the slope is -1
the perpendicular of that slope is what number we can multiply to get -1
-1 times what=-1?
what=1
duh
so
point (1,0) and slope 1
y-0=1(x-1)
y=x-1 is da equation

solve for where y=x-1 and y=x-x² intersect

set equatl to each other since equal y
x-1=x-x²
x²-1=0
factor difference of 2 perfect squares
(x-1)(x+1)=0
set to zero

x-1=0
x=1
we got this point already

x+1=0
x=-1
sub back
y=-1-(-1)²
y=-1-(1)
y=-1-1
y=-2

it intersects at (-1,-2)

What are the coordinates of the x-intercept of the graph?

alex41 [277]

Answer:

d. (9, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x, y) so...

Where the line crosses the x-plane, x = 9

Since this is the x-intercept y will always equal zero

Therfore x-int = (9, 0)

What’s the value of the 8 in 281480100

luda_lava [24]

We want to find the value of the 8 in 281,480,100

Let's find the place value of each of the numbers:

2 - hundred millions

8 - ten millions

1 - millions

4 - hundred thousands

8 - ten thousands

0 - thousands

1 - hundreds

0 - tens

0 - ones

I see there are two 8's so I wouldn't be too sure of which value to find, but just in case, we have the chart made above for place values.

There is one 8 at the ten millions value.

There is one 8 at the ten thousands value.

AM I CORRECT?? answer for 10 points

OverLord2011 [107]

lox (x) = -5

rewrite the equation in exponential form:

10^-5 = x

10^-5 = 1/10000

1/10000 = 0.00001

That is the correct answer.

Assume that hybridization experiments are conducted with peas having the property that for offspring, there is a 0.75 probabilit

Verdich [7]

Answer:

a) Standard Deviation = 2.74

b) Significantly Low = values below 24.52 (or equal)

Significantly High = values above 35.48 (or equal)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is binomial probability distribution problem.

Where n = 40 [groups of 40, total trials]

p = 0.75 [probability of success]

a)

The formula for standard deviation is:

$Standard \ Deviation = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

We know n = 40 and p = 0.75, so the standard deviation is:

$Standard \ Deviation = \sqrt{np(1-p)} \\Standard \ Deviation = \sqrt{(40)(0.75)(1-0.75)}\\ Standard \ Deviation = 2.74$

b)

the range rule of thumb tells us that usual range of values is within 2 standard deviation of the mean. First let's calculate mean.

We know,

Mean = n * p = 40 * 0.75 = 30

So

Mean - 2* Standard Deviation = 30 - 2(2.74) = 24.52

and

Mean + 2* Standard Deviation = 30 + 2(2.74) = 35.48

Significantly Low = values below 24.52 (or equal)

Significantly High = values above 35.48 (or equal)
