Which expression is equivalent to 2(3x+4)(x-3)

At an end- of-season sale, a kid's pool was on sale for $168 . A sign advertised that this was 20% off the original price. What

Bogdan [553]

Answer: $134.40

Step-by-step explanation: Just find 80% of 168. That is because 100 - 20 is 80. The question says 20% OFF.

cody's Bikes rents bikes for $18 plus $5 per hour. Mark paid $48 to rent a bike. For how many hours did he rent the bike.

kkurt [141]

He rented the bike for 6 hours. If Cody charges an 18 dollar fee up front you subtract that from the total 48 to get 30. Then once you get down to the what he payed for the time used you divide it by 5 because that’s the hourly fee and get 6 hours

Suppose that X1 and X2 are independent random variables each with a mean μ and a variance σ^2. Compute the mean and variance of

Deffense [45]

Mean:

E[Y] = E[3X₁ + X₂]

E[Y] = 3 E[X₁] + E[X₂]

E[Y] = 3µ + µ

E[Y] = 4µ

Variance:

Var[Y] = Var[3X₁ + X₂]

Var[Y] = 3² Var[X₁] + 2 Covar[X₁, X₂] + 1² Var[X₂]

(the covariance is 0 since X₁ and X₂ are independent)

Var[Y] = 9 Var[X₁] + Var[X₂]

Var[Y] = 9σ² + σ²

Var[Y] = 10σ²

A recipe calls for 1 cup of ground almonds. How many ounces of ground almonds should you use for this recipe if 1 pint of ground

aleksley [76]

Answer: There are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 pint = 0.42 pounds

As we know that

1 cup = 0.5 pints

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, We need to find the number of ounces.

As 1 pint = 0.42 pounds = 0.42 × 16 = 6.72 ounces

0.5 pints is given by

$6.72\times 0.5\\\\=3.36\ ounces$

Hence, there are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.

What is the equation of a parabola with a directrix of y=2 and a focus point of 0,-2

KiRa [710]

Hope this helped. :)

Any point, (x0,y0)(x0,y0) on the parabola satisfies the definition of parabola, so there are two distances to calculate:

Distance between the point on the parabola to the focusDistance between the point on the parabola to the directrix

To find the equation of the parabola, equate these two expressions and solve for y0y0 .

Find the equation of the parabola in the example above.

Distance between the point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and (a,b)(a,b) :

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2

Distance between point (x0,y0)(x0,y0) and the line y=cy=c :

∣∣y0−c∣∣| y0−c |

(Here, the distance between the point and horizontal line is difference of their yy -coordinates.)

Equate the two expressions.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√=∣∣y0−c∣∣(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=| y0−c |

Square both sides.

(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2(x0−a)2+(y0−b)2=(y0−c)2

Expand the expression in y0y0 on both sides and simplify.

(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0(x0−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y0

This equation in (x0,y0)(x0,y0) is true for all other values on the parabola and hence we can rewrite with (x,y)(x,y) .

Therefore, the equation of the parabola with focus (a,b)(a,b) and directrix y=cy=c is

(x−a)2+b2−c2=2(b−c)y
