Given:

Focus of a parabola = \left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

Directrix: y=3

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The equation of a vertical parabola is:

y-k=\dfrac{1}{4a}(x-h)^2            ...(A)

Where, (h,k) is center, (h,k+a) is focus and y=k-a is the directrix.

On comparing the focus, we get

(h,k+a)=\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)

h=1

k+a=\dfrac{1}{2}           ...(i)

On comparing the directrix, we get

k-a=3              ...(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

2k=\dfrac{7}{2}

k=\dfrac{7}{4}

Putting k=\dfrac{7}{4} is (i), we get

\dfrac{7}{4}+a=\dfrac{1}{2}

a=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{7}{4}

a=\dfrac{-5}{4}

Putting a=\dfrac{-5}{4},h=1,k=\dfrac{7}{4} in (A), we get

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{1}{4\times \dfrac{-5}{4}}(x-1)^2

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=\dfrac{-1}{5}(x^2-2x+1)

y-\dfrac{7}{4}=-\dfrac{1}{5}(x^2)-\dfrac{1}{5}(-2x)-\dfrac{1}{5}(1)

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x-\dfrac{1}{5}+\dfrac{7}{4}

On further simplification, we get

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{35-4}{20}

y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{31}{20}

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x^2+\dfrac{2}{5}x+\dfrac{31}{20}.

Note: Option C is correct but the leading coefficient should be negative.

12 times a number decreased by 5 is no more than 55
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

  12n -5 ≤ 55

Step-by-step explanation:

12 times a number (represented by n) is 12n.

"Decreased by 5" means 5 is subtracted from the product, giving 12n-5.

"Is no more than 55" means "is less than or equal to 55".

Then the expression written using math symbols is ...

  12n -5 ≤ 55

If two fair dice are rolled, what is the probability that the total showing is either even or less than five?
snow_tiger [21]

The Probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, broadly speaking, 0 represents the event's impossibility and 1 implies certainty.

<h3>According to the given data:</h3>

The example space for rolling two dice is:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

36 events total.

Events that have a sum that is even or less than Five .

Total instances when the aggregate is even or less than Five equals 30.

P(sum is even or less than 5)

= (Total no of favorable event)/(Total no of event)

= 30/36

=5/6

probability that the total showing is either even or less than five = 5/6

How many solutions does this system of equations have? Use either the substitution method or the elimination method. −2x + 4y =
Katen [24]
-2x+4y=4 Equation 1
x-2y=6 Equation 2
Solving by substitution method.
Isolate x from equation 2.
x=2y+6 
Substitute value of x in equation 1
-2(2y+6)+4y=4
-4y-12+4y=4
-12=4
-16=0
Which is false. 

Answer: No solution
