Given y = a(x - h)^2 + k, p = A. a B. 4a C. 1/4a
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
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:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that for a sample size of 25, sample mean = 102 lbs. and sample std deviation = 10 lbs.
(Right tailed test)
Given that we assume population is normally distributed
Test statistic:
Mean difference = +2
Std error of sample =
t = test statistic = Mean diff/Std error
degree of freedom
Critical value of t = 1.711
Our test statistic >1.71
Accept alternate hypothesis
Because there is significant difference between the test statistic and test statistic lies above critical value.
