Answer:

The endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola with vertex at point C(x, y) = (h,k) and whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis is defined by the following formula:

(x-h)^{2} = 4\cdot p \cdot (y-k) (1)

Where:

y - Independent variable.

x - Dependent variable.

p - Distance from vertex to the focus.

h, k - Coordinates of the vertex.

The coordinates of the focus are represented by:

F(x,y) = (h, k+p) (2)

The <em>latus rectum</em> is a line segment parallel to the x-axis which contains the focus. If we know that h = 2, k = -2 and p = -5, then the latus rectum is between the following endpoints:

By (2):

F(x,y) = (2, -2-5)

F(x,y) = (2,-7)

By (1):

(x-2)^{2} = -20\cdot (-7+2)

(x-2)^{2} = 100

x - 2 = \pm 10

There are two solutions:

x_{1} = 2 + 10

x_{1} = 12

x_{2} = 2-10

x_{2} = -8

Hence, the endpoints of the latus rectum are (12, -7) and (-8, -7).

X/a+x/b=1<br>make x the subject of the formular​
monitta

Answer:

x = \frac{ab}{b+a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{a} + \frac{x}{b} = 1

Multiply through by ab to clear the fractions

bx + ax = ab ← factor out x from each term on the left side

x(b + a) = ab ← divide both sides by (b + a)

x = \frac{ab}{b+a}

The brand name of a certain chain of coffee shops has a 54% recognition rate in the town of Coffleton. An executive from the com
malfutka [58]

Answer:

0.156

Step-by-step explanation:

Using binomial probability formula, we have :

P( a out of n ) =ⁿCₐ x pᵃ x qⁿ⁻ᵃ  ------------------------------------------------- (1)

Where n = total number of sample

           a = number of success

            p = probability of success

            q = probability of failure

            n-a = number of failures

From the question:

n =10 , a = 7, p=0.54, q = 1-p = 0.46

Substituting into equation (1) we have:

P (7 out of 10) =  ¹⁰C₇ x (0.54)⁷x (0.46)¹⁰⁻⁷

                      = 0.1563

                     ≈ 0.156

Solve the system of equation below x+y+z=2 x-y+5z=6
mamaluj [8]
X + y + z = 2
x - y + 5z = 6

cancelando +y com -y:

x + z = 2*(-5)
x + 5z = 6

-5x -5z = -10
...x +5z = 6
---------------------
-4x = -4 *(-1)
4x = 4
x = 4/4
x = 1

x + z = 2
1 + z = 2
z = 2 - 1
z = 1

x + y + z = 2
1 + y + 1 = 2
2 + y = 2
y = 2 - 2
y = 0 

S: {x, y, z} = {1, 0, 1}
