Answer:
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this graphically without doing calculations.
The y component of the focus is y = 3. Since this is above the directrix, we know this is an upward facing parabola, so it must have a positive coefficient. That narrows the possible answers to A and C.
The x component of the focus is x = 5. Since this is above the vertex, we know the x component of the vertex is also x = 5.
So the answer is A. y = 1/12 (x−5)².
But let's say this wasn't a multiple choice question and we needed to do calculations. The equation of a parabola is:
y = 1/(4p) (x − h)² + k
where (h, k) is the vertex and p is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix. So p is half the difference of the y components:
p = (3 − (-3)) / 2
p = 3
k, the y component of the vertex, is the average:
k = (3 + (-3)) / 2
k = 0
And h, the x component of the vertex, is the same as the focus:
h = 5
So:
y = 1/(4×3) (x − 5)² + 0
y = 1/12 (x − 5)²

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Any expression that says (2 * 4)/3 is correct, even though there is a shift in the brackets. That means that A, B, C are all the same thing, and all are correct.
Only D is lying.
2*(1/3) = 2/3
4*(1/3) = 4/3 Now we have to add them
2/3 + 4/3 = 6/3 = 2
To show what the real answer is, try A
2*4/3
8/3 is the actual answer.
Answer:
1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total number of employees = 4000
Number of employees with bachelors degree = 1000
Fraction of employees with graduate degree = 1/4 of 1000 = 250
1/5 of the employees with graduate degrees have PhD.
Number of employees with PhDs = 1/5 of 250 = 50
Now,
Fraction of PhD employees to total employees = 
Hence,
1/80 of the agency's employees have PhDs.
