Answer:

(1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6  and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).  

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 0.50477

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sugar content of the syrup is canned peaches is normally distributed.

We assume the can is designed to have standard deviation \sigma=5 milligrams.

The sampling distribution of the sample variance is chi-square distribution.

Also,The data yields a sample standard deviation of s=4.8 milligrams.

Sample size : n= 10

Test statistic for chi-square :\chi^2=\dfrac{s^2(n-1)}{\sigma^2}

i.e. \chi^2=\dfrac{(4.8)^2(10-1)}{(5)^2}=8.2944

Now, P-value = P(\chi^2>8.2944)=0.50477  [By using the chi-square distribution table for p-values.]

Hence, the chance of observing the sample standard deviation greater than 4.8 milligrams = 0.50477

goblinko [34]

Answer:

He ran a total of 8.439 miles. Over the three days he ran less than he needed to for his goal, he has to run 0.061 more miles to gain his goal

Step-by-step explanation:

simple! add all of the data numbers and you get a total of 8.439 miles. He has to run 8.5 miles but he does not reach that. he has to run 0.061 miles to gain his goal (8.5-8.439) I hope this helps! (got here as soon as possible)

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep
prohojiy [21]
The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus (a,b) = (2, -0.5)
The point P(x,y)
The directrix, c at y=-1.5

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; (2, -0.5) and (x,y).
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix c. It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as y-c

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as 
\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }=y-c
(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2} ⇒ substituting a, b and c
(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2}  = (y--1.5)^{2}
(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}⇒Rearranging and making y the subject gives

y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1
