Answer:

$Ratio = 2 : 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Population = 13$ --- Boys & Girls

Required

Determine the ratio of the kitten ears to the tails

A kitten has 1 tail and 2 ears.

Assume each individual got 1 kitten each

This implies that,

$Number\ of\ tails= 1 * 13$

$Number\ of\ tails= 13$

$Number\ of\ ears= 2* 13$

$Number\ of\ ears= 26$

The ratio of ears to tail is then calculated as follows:

Ratio = Number of ears : Number of tails

This gives

$Ratio = 26 : 13$

Divide by 13

$Ratio = 26/13 : 13/13$

$Ratio = 2 : 1$

$\bf \textit{parabola vertex form with focus point distance}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
(y-{{ k}})^2=4{{ p}}(x-{{ h}}) \\\\
\boxed{(x-{{ h}})^2=4{{ p}}(y-{{ k}})} \\
\end{array}
\qquad 
\begin{array}{llll}
vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
{{ p}}=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\
\qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
y=\cfrac{1}{8}x^2\implies (y-0)=\cfrac{1}{8}(x-0)^2\implies 8(y-0)=(x-0)^2
\\\\\\
4(2)(y-0)=(x-0)^2\impliedby \textit{that means, p = 2}$

so... if you notice, the vertex is at h,k and that'd be the origin, 0,0

so...since the directrix is "p" units from the vertex, so it'd be 2 units from 0,0

now, the parabola has an equation with a positive leading term's coefficient, namely the 1/8 is positive, thus, the parabola is opening upwards, and the directrix is "outside" the parabola, so is below the vertex

that puts the directrix 2 units below 0,0

y = -2

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

24÷4=6

so 6×4=24 because of distributive proterty meaning that x=6 :))
