Answer:
an = -6 + n
a10 = -6+ 10 =4
Step-by-step explanation:
an should start at one behind the first number so it should be -6. Then we add whatever the sequence is increasing by, which is 1 in this case, multiplied by n.
an = -6 + n
a10 = -6+ 10 =4
Given that the directrix is at y = 4 and the focus is at (0, -4), then the vertex is at (h, k) = (0, 0).
p is the distance between the vertex and the focus and between the vertex and the directrix = 4 and since the focus is below the directrix, p is negative, i.e. p = -4
Equation of a parabola is given by (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k)
Therefore, the required equation is (x - 0)^2 = 4(-4)(y - 0)
x^2 = -16y
y = -1/16 x^2
Intuitively, one would think the ball would land in the green spot 2 out of the 38 times, since there are 38 slots and 2 are green.
The probability that it lands in a green section is 2/38. Multiplying this by the number of times the experiment is performed, we get (2/38)(38) = 2.
9 - 2(7 - 8)
9 - 2(-1)
9 - (-2)
11
