Answer:
C. 1/(4a)
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you're comparing the vertex form ...
y = a(x -h)^2 +k
to the form used to write the equation in terms of the focal distance p.
y = 1/(4p)(x -h)^2 +k
That comparison tells you ...
a = 1/(4p)
p = 1/(4a) . . . . . . multiply by p/a; matches choice C

<em>Additional comment</em>
When using plain text to write a rational expression, parentheses are needed around any denominator that has is more than a single constant or variable. The order of operations requires 1/4a to be interpreted as (1/4)a. The value of p is 1/(4a).
When rational expressions are typeset, the fraction bar serves as a grouping symbol identifying the entire denominator:

Parallel means lines that never meet, and perpendicular are lines that meet at right angles.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that According to a video streaming service, 48% of American couples are "cheaters", that is—they promise each other to watch a filmtogether, but one of them first watches it alone.
Here if this is binomial with two outcomes we can easily say that the other 52% couples go together movies.
But here there are not only two outcomes.
The other possibilities are:
i) Either both do not go to movies
ii) Both cheat and go to movies separately
Thus since there are not exactly two outcomes, we cannot say the other 52% go to movies together.
As much as say that 52% of couples are not cheating in this way.
Answer: Table D
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of x^2 is -9, the coefficient of x is 7, and the constant is 0, so we know a = -9, b = 7, c = 0.
- This eliminates tables A, B, and C.
Thus, table D is the answer.
