Write the equation for the hyperbola with foci (–12, 6), (6, 6) and vertices (–10, 6), (4, 6).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{(x--3)^2}{49} -\frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a horizontal hyperbola with center (h,k) is

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]

The given hyperbola has vertices at (–10, 6) and (4, 6).

The length of its major axis is [tex]2a=|4--10|[/tex].

[tex]\implies 2a=|14|[/tex]

[tex]\implies 2a=14[/tex]

[tex]\implies a=7[/tex]

The center is the midpoint of the vertices (–10, 6) and (4, 6).

The center is [tex](\frac{-10+4}{2},\frac{6+6}{2}=(-3,6)[/tex]

We need to use the relation [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex] to find [tex]b^2[/tex].

The c-value is the distance from the center (-3,6) to one of the foci (6,6)

[tex]c=|6--3|=9[/tex]

[tex]\implies 7^2+b^2=9^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies b^2=9^2-7^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies b^2=81-49[/tex]

[tex]\implies b^2=32[/tex]

We substitute these values into the standard equation of the hyperbola to obtain:

[tex]\frac{(x--3)^2}{7^2} - \frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x+3)^2}{49} -\frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1[/tex]

Suppose 46% of American singers are Grammy award winners.

If a random sample of size 622 is selected, what is the probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will be less than 47%? Round your answer to four decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will be less than 47% is 0.6915

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Suppose 46% of American singers are Grammy award winners.

- In a random sample of size 622 is selected

- We want to find the probability that the proportion of Grammy award

 winners will be less than 47%

* At first we must to calculate z

∵ [tex]z=\frac{P^{'}-P}{\sqrt{\frac{P(1-P)}{n}}}[/tex], where

# P' is the sample proportion

# n is the sample size

# P is probability of success

∵ The sample proportion is 47% = 47/100 = 0.47

∴ P' = 0.47

∵ The sample size is 622

∴ n = 622

∵ The probability of success is 46% = 46/100 = 0.46

∴ P = 0.46

∴ [tex]z=\frac{0.47-0.46}{\sqrt{\frac{0.46(1-0.46)}{622}}}=0.5004[/tex]

- P(P' < 0.47) = P(z < 0.5004)

∵ P(z < 0.5004) = 0.6915

∴ P(P' < 0.47) = 0.6915

* The probability that the proportion of Grammy award winners will

 be less than 47% is 0.6915

is 5 a soluation to the equation? 3x(+1)=7(×-2)-3​

Answers

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

If the equation is:

3(x+1)=7(x-2) -3

Solution:

Multiply (x+1) by 3 and (x-2) by 7

3x+3 = 7x-14 -3

3x+3 = 7x -17

Now combine the like terms:

3+17 = 7x-3x

20 = 4x

Now divide both the terms by 4

20/4 = 4x/4

5 = x

You can write it as x=5

Thus the value of x is 5 ....

For which rational expression is -5 an excluded value of x?

Answers

Ration expressions cause excluded values wherever the denominator equals zero.

So, for any expression like

[tex]h(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}[/tex]

-5 is an excluded value if [tex]g(-5)=0[/tex]

For example, the simplest one would be

[tex]h(x) = \dfrac{1}{x+5}[/tex]

In fact, if you try to evaluate this function at -5, you'd have

[tex]h(-5)=\dfrac{1}{5+5}=\dfrac{1}{0}[/tex]

which is undefined, and thus you can't evaluate the function, and thus -5 is an excluded value.

Answers

Answer:

Are you sure your function is right?

Is value to plug in x=-8?

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of the function at x=-8, you replace x with -8 in the function.

g(x)=3(x+10)

g(-8)=3(-8+10)

g(-8)=3(2)

g(-8)=6

g(-8) = 6.

The value of g(x) = 3(x + 10) when x = -8 is:

Substituting x = -8 in the function g(x)

g(-8) = 3 (-8+ 10)

Solving the operation in the  parenthesis

g(-8) = 3 (-8 + 10)

g(-8) = 3 (2)

Solving the multiplication

g(-8) = 6

What is the rate of change for this set of ordered pairs ?

y | 7 | 12 | 17 | 22 | 27
A)2
B)2.5
C) 5
D)4

Answers

Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change can be found by finding the slope of given ordered pairs.

y₂=12, y₁=7,x₂=1,x₁=0

rate of change = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

rate of change = 12-7/1-0

rate of change = 5/1 = 5

Now considering next two points,

y₂=17, y₁=7,x₂=2,x₁=1

rate of change = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

rate of change = 17-12/2-1

rate of change = 5/1 = 5

So, the rate of change for this set of ordered pairs is 5.

Option C is correct.

What is the average rate of change for this quadratic function for the interval
from x= 2 to x = 4?​

Answers

Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The average rate of a function f(x) on the interval from x=a to x=b is [tex]\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex].

So in the problem you have from [tex]x=2[/tex] to [tex]x=4[/tex].

The average rate of the function from x=2 to x=4 is

[tex]\frac{f(4)-f(2)}{4-2}=\frac{f(4)-f(2)}{2}[/tex].

Now we need to find f(4) and f(2).

f(4) means what is the y-coordinate that corresponds to x=4 on the curve.

f(4)=-15 since the ordered pair at x=4 is (4,-15).

f(2) means what is the y-coordinate that corresponds to x=2 on the curve.

f(2)=-3 since the ordered pair at x=2 is (2,-3).

So let's plug in those values:

[tex]\frac{f(4)-f(2)}{4-2}=\frac{-15-(-3))}{2}[/tex].

Now we just simplify:

Final answer:

The equation of the line passing through points (-3,2) and (2,15) is calculated using the point-slope formula after calculating the slope. The derived equation is y = 2.6x + 7.8.

Explanation:

The question is asking to find the equation of the line that passes through two given points: (-3,2) and (2,15). To tackle this, firstly we need to calculate the slope (m) of the line, which is given by the formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Secondly, we apply the point-slope formula, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) can be either point.

Now, calculating the slope using the given points, we find (15-2) / (2- (-3)) equals to 13/5 or 2.6. Next, we use the point-slope formula to write the equation. If using point (-3,2) we find y - 2 = 2.6 (x - (-3)). Thus, the equation for the line that passes through (-3,2) and (2,15) is y = 2.6x + 7.8 after simplifying the equation.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of people who applied for the job = 8 + 6 = 14

Number of people to be chosen = 4

This is a combination problem because the order of selection does not matter. A group selection involves the combinations. So here we have to find the combinations of 14 people taken 4 at a time. The formula for the combination is:

[tex]^{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

Here, n is the total number of objects which is 14 in this case.

r is the number of objects to be chosen which is 4 in this case.

Using these values, we get:

[tex]^{14}C_{4}=\frac{14!}{4!(14-4)!}\\\\ = \frac{14!}{4! \times 10!}\\\\ =1001[/tex]

Thus, there are 1001 ways to select 4 applicants from 8 men and 6 women for the second interview.

a portion of road A climbs steadily for 154 feet over a horizontal distance of 2200 feet. a portion of road B climbs steadily for 153 feet over a horizontal distance of 3400 feet. which road is steeper?

Answers

Answer:

Road A

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of road A is:

154 / 2200 = 0.07

The slope of road B is:

153 / 3400 = 0.045

Road A has the larger slope, and is therefore steeper.

Final answer:

The steepness of a road is determined by the ratio of the vertical climb to the horizontal distance. By calculating this ratio for both Road A and Road B, we find that Road A, with a ratio of 0.07, is steeper than Road B, which has a ratio of 0.045.

Explanation:

The steepness of a road is determined by the ratio of the vertical climb to the horizontal distance. This is equivalent to finding the slope in mathematics. We can calculate this for both Road A and Road B:

For Road A, the slope can be calculated as rise over run, or 154 feet over 2200 feet, yielding approximately 0.07. For Road B, applying the same formula gives 153 feet over 3400 feet, resulting in a slope of about 0.045.

Comparing these two results, it is clear that Road A, with a slope of 0.07, is steeper than Road B, which has a slope of 0.045.

How is the pattern for a perfect square trinomial used to factor the trinomial?

Answers

Final answer:

A perfect square trinomial can be factored using the pattern x²+2ab+b²=(x+a)² or x²-2ab+b²=(x-a)². The term 'a' is the square root of the last term, and 'b' is half of the second term's coefficient.

Explanation:

In mathematics, a perfect square trinomial is a type of second-order polynomial or quadratic function with a specific form. It is used in the factorization process, particularly when solving quadratic equations of the form ax² + bx + c.

A perfect square trinomial is a trinomial in the form x²+2ab+b² or x²-2ab+b². To factor such a trinomial, the pattern (x+a)² or (x-a)² is used where 'x' is the variable, 'a' is the square root of the third term, and 'b' is half of the coefficient of the second term. Hence, x²+2ab+b² factors to (x+a)², whereas x²-2ab+b² factors to (x-a)².

Take for example, the trinomial x²+6x+9. Here, 'a' is 3 (as √9=3) and 'b' is 3 (as half of 6 is 3). Both 'a' and 'b' are equal so we know the trinomial is perfect square and it factors to (x+3)².

The factor a perfect square trinomial, use the pattern [tex](a+b)^2[/tex] = [tex]a^2[/tex]  +2ab+  [tex]b ^{2}[/tex] and simplify .

The pattern for a perfect square trinomial is a helpful algebraic expression that represents the square of a binomial.

It takes the form [tex](a+b)^2[/tex] = [tex]a^2[/tex] +2ab+[tex]b ^{2}[/tex]  

where a and b are variables. When faced with a trinomial that fits this pattern, you can use it to factor the trinomial efficiently.

To factor a perfect square trinomial, compare it with the pattern. If the trinomial can be expressed in the form [tex](a+b)^2[/tex] =[tex]a^2[/tex]+2ab+ [tex]b ^{2}[/tex] , then it is a perfect square trinomial.

Identify [tex]a^2[/tex]  ,2ab and [tex]b ^{2}[/tex] terms in the trinomial.

Once identified, you can write the factored form as [tex](a+b)^2[/tex].  This means the trinomial can be factored as  [tex](a+b)^2[/tex] where a is the square root of the first term, and b is the square root of the last term.

This process is essentially reverse-engineering the expansion of the perfect square trinomial pattern.

Factoring using the perfect square trinomial pattern can save time compared to other methods, making it a valuable tool in algebraic manipulations and simplifying expressions.

or

(x+1)(x+10) since you can factor x^2+11x+10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do synthetic division.

We are dividing by x+2, so -2 will be on the outside. Like this:

-2 |         1          13          32         20

   |                     -2        -22         -20

   |___________________________

             1          11           10            0

The remainder is 0, so (x+2) is indeed a factor of x^3+13x^2+32x+20.

The other factor we found by doing this is (x^2+11x+10).

You can find more factors by factoring x^2+11x+10.

Two numbers that multiply to be 10 and add to be 11 is 10 and 1 so the factored form of x^2+11x+10 is (x+10)(x+1).

Answers

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify something that looks like [tex]\frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}}[/tex] you would multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the bottom. So you multiply the top and bottom for this problem I just made by:

[tex]\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}[/tex].

If you had  [tex]\frac{\text{whatever}}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}}[/tex], then you would multiply top and bottom the conjugate of [tex]\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}[/tex] which is [tex]\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}[/tex].

The conjugate of a+b is a-b.

These have a term for it because when you multiply them something special happens.  The middle terms cancel so you only have to really multiply the first terms and the last terms.

Let's see:

(a+b)(a-b)

I'm going to use foil:

First:  a(a)=a^2

Outer: a(-b)=-ab

Inner:  b(a)=ab

Last:    b(-b)=-b^2

--------------------------Adding.

a^2-b^2

See -ab+ab canceled so all you had to do was the "first" and "last" of foil.

This would get rid of square roots if a and b had them because they are being squared.

Anyways the conjugate of [tex]\sqrt{17}-\sqrt{2}[/tex] is

[tex]\sqrt{17}+\sqrt{2}[/tex].

This is the thing we are multiplying and top and bottom.

For this case we have the following expression:

[tex]\frac {3} {\sqrt {17} - \sqrt {2}}[/tex]

We must rationalize the expression, so we multiply by:

[tex]\frac {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\frac {3} {\sqrt {17} - \sqrt {2}} * \frac {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} =\\\frac {3 (\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {17- \sqrt {17} * \sqrt {2} + \sqrt {17} * \sqrt {2} -2} =\\\frac {3 (\sqrt {17} + \sqrt {2}} {15}[/tex]

Thus, the correct option is option B.

Answer:

OPTION B
