The general form of a parabola when using the focus and directrix is:
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k) where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'p' is distance between vertex and the focus. We use this form due to the fact we can see the parabola will open up based on the directrix being below the focus. Remember that the parabola will hug the focus and run away from the directrix. The formula would be slightly different if the parabola was opening either left or right.
Given a focus of (-2,4) and a directrix of y = 0, we can assume the vertex of the parabola is exactly half way in between the focus and the directrix. The focus and vertex with be stacked one above the other, therefore the vertex will be (-2, 2) and the value of 'p' will be 2. We can now write the equation of the parabola:
(x + 2)² = 4(2)(y - 2)
(x + 2)² = 8(y - 2) Now you can solve this equation for y if you prefer solving for 'y' in terms of 'x'
Answer: a) 0.2222, b) 0.3292, c) 0.1111
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Let the probability of getting head be p.
Since, its head is twice as likely to occur as its tail.
a)If the coin is flipped 3 times, what is the probability of getting exactly 1 head?
So, here, n = 3
Now,
b)If the coin is flipped 5 times, what is the probability of getting exactly 2 tails?
2 tails means 3 heads.
So, it becomes,
c)If the coin is flipped 4 times, what is the probability of getting at least 3 tails?
Hence, a) 0.2222, b) 0.3292, c) 0.1111
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the base formula is y = x^2
You want to go two units left.
basically that is y = (x + 2)^2 just the opposite of what you might think it should be.
Where does the base function have a minimum? It's minimum is as x = 0 and y = 0
Where does y = (x + 2)^2 have it's minimum?
(-2,0)
conclusion. The base function has moved 2 units to the left.
6 I think because 6•3=18, 6•7=42, and 6•2=12
