Answer:
The equation of the quadratic graph is f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3 (second option)
Step-by-step explanation:
Focus: F=(3,1)=(xf, yf)→xf=3, yf=1
Directrix: y=5 (horizontal line), then the axis of the parabola is vertical, and the equation has the form:
f(x)=[1 / (4p)] (x-h)^2+k
where Vertex: V=(h,k)
The directix y=5 must intercept the axis of the parabola at the point (3,5), and the vertex is the midpoint between this point and the focus:
Vertex is the midpoint between (3,5) and (3,1):
h=(3+3)/2→h=6/2→h=3
k=(5+1)/2→k=6/2→k=3
Vertex: V=(h,k)→V=(3,3)
p=yf-k→p=1-3→p=-2
Replacing the values in the equation:
f(x)= [ 1 / (4(-2)) ] (x-3)^2 + 3
f(x)=[ 1 / (-8) ] (x-3)^2 + 3
f(x)= - (1/8) (x-3)^2 + 3
Hello!
To calculate mean absolute deviation, you find the mean, find the distance between each data point and the mean, add up those distances, and divide by the number of data points.
In this scenario, after Natalia finds the distances, she must add them all up and then divide by the number of data points.
I hope this helps!
