Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as y = (1/2)x^2 for greater clarity.  (1/2) is the coefficient of x^2 here.  

The applicable form for the equation of this quadratic is 4py = x^2.  

Your y = (1/2)x^2  becomes 2y = x^2.  Therefore, 4p = 2, or p = (1/2).

Thus, the focus is (0, 1/2) (just above the vertex, (0, 0) ), and the equation of the directrix is y = -1/2.

Answer:

This is a direct variation where the constant of variation is 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for direct variation is y = kx

5x-9y =0

Lets try to get this equation in the above form

Add 9y to each side

5x-9y +9y = 9y

5x = 9y

Divide each side by 9

5/9 x = 9y/9

5/9x = y

This is in the form y = k x where k =5/9

You will have a better chance of winning because your chance before you opened the first door was 1/3 (since there was 3 doors) but now, you have 2 doors left, so it is a 50% chance that you will win.
