Answer:

y = 1/3(x + 5)^2 - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The general vertex form is;

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

From the question, (h,k) are the coordinates of the vertex which is (-5,-4)

So we have

y = a(x + 5)^2 -4

So we need to get the leading coefficient

Simply substitute the point it passes through

x = -2 and y = -1

-1 = a(-2 + 5)^2 - 4

-1 = a(3)^2 -4

-1 = 9a -4

9a = 4-1

9a = 3

a = 3/9

a = 1/3

So the equation is;

y = 1/3(x + 5)^2 - 4

svlad2 [7]

Okay we know that tangent-chords creat 90 degree angles so what we have is a right triangle with a base of 9 and a height of 12, so do Pythoagoreas Theorem and we have 81+144=225 square root of 225 is 15 and that is AJ

A foreign student club lists as its members 2 Canadians, 3 Japanese, 5 Italians, and 2 Germans. If a committee of 4 is selected

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the members of the committee are chosen from all nationalities $=\frac{4}{33}$ =0.1212.

(b)The probability that all nationalities except Italian are represent is 0.04848.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypergeometric Distribution:

Let $x_1$ , $x_2$ , $x_3$ and $x_4$ be four given positive integers and let $x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4= N$ .

A random variable X is said to have hypergeometric distribution with parameter $x_1$ , $x_2$ , $x_3$ , $x_4$ and n.

The probability mass function

$f(x_1,x_2.x_3,x_4;a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4;N,n)=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}x_1\\a_1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}x_2\\a_2\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}x_3\\a_3\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}x_4\\a_4\end{array}\right) }{\left(\begin{array}{c}N\\n\end{array}\right) }$

Here $a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4=n$

${\left(\begin{array}{c}x_1\\a_1\end{array}\right)=^{x_1}C_{a_1}= \frac{x_1!}{a_1!(x_1-a_1)!}$

Given that, a foreign club is made of 2 Canadian members, 3 Japanese members, 5 Italian members and 2 Germans members.

$x_1$ =2, $x_2$ =3, $x_3$ =5 and $x_4$ =2.

A committee is made of 4 member.

N=4

(a)

We need to find out the probability that the members of the committee are chosen from all nationalities.

$a_1$ =1, $a_2$ =1, $a_3$ =1 , $a_4$ =1, n=4

The required probability is

$=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}5\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right) }{\left(\begin{array}{c}12\\4\end{array}\right) }$

$=\frac{2\times 3\times 5\times 2}{495}$

$=\frac{4}{33}$

=0.1212

(b)

Now we find out the probability that all nationalities except Italian.

So, we need to find out,

$P(a_1=2,a_2=1,a_3=0,a_4=1)+P(a_1=1,a_2=2,a_3=0,a_4=1)+P(a_1=1,a_2=1,a_3=0,a_4=2)$

$=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}2\\2\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}5\\0\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right) }{\left(\begin{array}{c}12\\4\end{array}\right) }+\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}3\\2\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}5\\0\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right) }{\left(\begin{array}{c}12\\4\end{array}\right) }$ $+\frac{\left(\begin{array}{c}2\\1\end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{c}3\\1\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}5\\0\end{array}\right) \left(\begin{array}{c}2\\2\end{array}\right) }{\left(\begin{array}{c}12\\4\end{array}\right) }$

$=\frac{1\times 3\times 1\times 2}{495}+\frac{2\times 3\times 1\times 2}{495}+\frac{2\times 3\times 1\times 1}{495}$

$=\frac{6+12+6}{495}$

$=\frac{8}{165}$

=0.04848

The probability that all nationalities except Italian are represent is 0.04848.

Fine the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the given point. Enter the right side o

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{4}{7} x+\frac{55}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Change the given equation to slope-intercept to get $y=\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{1}{4}$ . When you multiply the slopes of perpendicular lines, you get -1. -1 divided by $\frac{7}{4}$ is $-\frac{4}{7}$ . The slope of the new line is then $-\frac{4}{7}$ . The perpendicular line passes through (5, 5) so you can have the equation $5=-\frac{4}{7} (5)+b$ . Simplifying gets $b = \frac{55}{7}$ . So now the final equation for the perpendicular line is $y=-\frac{4}{7} x+\frac{55}{7}$
