Answer:

  • <em>If the focus is to the right of the directrix, </em><u>then the parabola opens to the right and p>0</u><em> . If the focus is to the left of the directrix, then the parabola opens to the left and p<0 .</em>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You should probably graph them both and take a look at them. The vertex will be the point exactly in the middle. Find the vertex by observation or calculate with midpoint formula. Then you will want to note in which direction the parabola is opening. Up, down, even left or right. The parabola will open away from the directrix. The focus should be nestled in the u-shaped curve of the parabola. Parabolas that open in the y direction (up or down) have formulas that begin with a y=

Parabolas that open in the x direction (left or right) have formulas that begin with a x=

Use the vertex form of the formula for a parabola.

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

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

Fill the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) in the formula. Lastly calculate a.

a = 1/(4p) Look back at you graph or sketch and find the distance from the vertex to the focus. That is the value of p. Use it to calculate a. Put the a you find into your vertex form equation. When you're done, you should have the a and the h and the k filled into the equation. Double check that your a value is negative if your parabola opens in a negative direction (down or left)

70+74+87+85 = 316
For the 5th test score, an 80 average needs 400 as the total score.  So 400-316 = 84 on the next test.

The given scales which measure the attitude of a person is an ordinal scale such as a Likert scale

<h3>What is an ordinal scale?</h3>

An ordinal scale provides a report of the rating, order or rank of a data without stating the extent of variation between the categories.

There are many types of rating scales used to directly measure the attitude of a person towards a subject matter.

The Likert scale which is the most widely used rating scale, when applied, consists of a five or seven point scale, that empowers the subject of the survey to express how much they agree (or disagree) with a specified statement.

Generally, five options, graded from, mild to extreme are provided so that the survey subject can indicate (express), their strength of how much they agree with or feel about the statement or question

The assumptions of the Likert scale includes;

  • The ability to measure attitudes.
  • The intensity or strength of an attitude is linear, such that the attitude varies linearly from strongly agree to strongly disagree

Based on the perception of the subject, Likert scale can be used to also measure the variations of the following subject matters;

  • Likelihood of an event or occurrence
  • The importance of a product or service
  • The quality perception of an object
  • The frequency of an event

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A is for sure wrong because we can see the distribution of the data showing us that the center is at 8. B is also wrong because the spread is only from 6.5 even though the table goes from 5. C would be correct because its symmetrical in shape.

Elena bought 8 tokens for $4.40. At this rate how many tokens could she buy with $6.05
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

She can buy 11 tokens

Step-by-step explanation:

8/4.40=x/6.05  (i set this up as a proportion. tokens/price=tokens/price)

4.40x=48.8  (cross multiplied)

x= 11  (divided both sides by 4.40)
