Samara is adjusting a satellite because she finds it is not focusing the income radio waves perfectly. The shape of her satellit

e can be modeled by (y-3)^2 = 8(x-4) where x and y are modeled in inches. She realizes that the static is a result of the feed antenna shifting slightly off the focus point. What is the focus point of the satellite? (-3,-6) (-3,-4) (3,6) 6,3)

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(6, 3)}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The conic form of the equation for a sideways parabola is

(y - k)² = 4p(x - h)

The focus is at (h + p, k)

The equation of Samara's parabola is

(y - 3)² = 8(x - 4)

h = 4

p = 8/4 = 2

k = 3

h + p = 6

So, the focus point of the satellite dish is at

\boxed{\textbf{(6, 3)}}

Solve x2 + 12x = –11 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation? {–11, –1} {–11, 1} {11, –1} {11, 1} ,
Mnenie [13.5K]
Since quadratic coefient is 1 (term in front of x^2)
take 1/2 of linear cofient (12) and square it
12/2=6, 6^2=36
add that to both sides
x^2+12x+36=-11+36
factor perfect square
(x+6)^2=25
sqrt both sides and take positiv and negative roots
x+6=+/-5
minus 6 both sides
x=-6+/-5
x=-6+5 or x=-6-5
x=-1 or -11

answer is {-11,-1}

44 students completed some homework and the histogram shows information about the times taken. Work out an estimate of the inter
Vilka [71]

Answer:

q1=11

q3= 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set has 44 number of students. The first quartile is 25 %  of the numbers in the data set . So

25 % of 44 = 25/100 * 44= 0.25 *44 = 11

So the first quartile lies at 11.

Similarly the third quartile lies at the 75 % of the numbers of the data set . So

75 % of 44 = 75/100 * 44= 0.75 *44 = 33

So the third quartile lies at 33.

An experiment was performed to compare the wear of two different laminated materials. Twelve pieces of material 1 were tested by
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

At 0.05 level of significance, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We hypothesize that mean difference between abrasive wear of material 1 and material 2 is greater than 2.

So we write the null hypothesis H_0 : \mu_1 - \mu_2 >2,

and the alternative hypothesis H_1: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \leq 2.

We will find the T-score as well as the p-value. If the p-value is less than the level of significance, we will reject the null hypothesis, i.e. we will conclude that the abrasive wear of material 1 is less than that of material 2. Otherwise, we will accept the null hypothesis.

Since the variance is unknown and assumed to be equal, we will use the pooled variance

s_p^2 = \frac{(n_1-1)s_1^2 + (n_2-1)s_2^2}{n_1+n_2-2} = 20.05,

where n_1 = 12, n_2 =10, s_1 =4, s_2 = 5.

The mean of material 1 and material 2 are \mu_1 =85, \mu_2=81 respectively and mean difference d is equal to 4. The hypothesize difference d_0 is equal to 2.

To find the T-score, we use the following formula

T = \frac{d - d_0}{\sqrt{\frac{s_p^2}{n_1} + \frac{s_p^2}{n_2} }}

Substituting all the values into the T-score formula gives us T = 1.04, and the respective p-value is equal to 0.31. This means we have enough statistical evidence not to reject the null hypothesis, and at 5% significance level, the abrasive wear of material 1 exceeds that of material 2 by more than 2 units.
