Answer:
a) f(-1/2) = -2 is NOT TRUE.
b) f(0) =3/2 is TRUE.
c) f(1) = -1 is NOT TRUE.
d) f(2) = 1 is NOT TRUE.
e) f(4) = 7/2 is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the given function is 
Now, checking for each values for the given function:
a) Putting x = (-1/2):

and (5/4) ≠ -2
Hence, f(-1/2) = -2 is NOT TRUE.
b)Putting x = 0 :

Hence, f(0) =3/2 is TRUE.
c) Putting x = 1:

Hence, f(1) = -1 is NOT TRUE.
d)Putting x = 2:

and (5/2) ≠ 1
Hence, f(2) = 1 is NOT TRUE.
e)Putting x = 4:

Hence, f(4) = 7/2 is TRUE.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the equation of parabola using given information
- Vertex: (0,0)
- Open to the left
- Focal width = 12
If parabola open left and passes through origin then equation is

Focal width = 12
Focal width passes through focus and focus is mid point of focal width.
Focus of above parabola would be (-a,0)
Passing point on parabola (-a,6) and (-a,-6)
Now we put passing point into equation and solve for a


a can't be negative.
Therefore, a=3
Focus: (-3,0)
Equation of parabola:

Please see the attachment of parabola.

90The information that you'd need in determining sample size when the standard deviation is unknown is:
z-value for the given level of confidence ⇒ The level of confidence is 90% and the z-value by convention is 1.645
The margin error (E) = 4%
The proportion of the population that you'd expect to vote for Yi. If this information isn't provided, use 50%. We call this value, p, the probability of success.
The probability of not success is q = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
STEP 1:
Half the margin error = 0.04 ÷ 2 = 0.02
STEP 2:
Multiply the probability of success by the probability of fail = 0.5 × 0.5 = 0.25
STEP 3:
Divide z-score by half of E = 1.645 ÷ 0.02 = 82.25
Then square the answer = 82.25² = 6765 rounded to the nearest integer)
STEP 4:
Multiply the answer from STEP 2 by the answer from STEP 4
0.25 × 6765 = 1691 (rounded to the nearest integer)
Answer: Minimum Sample Size is 1691
