The equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5

<h3>How to determine the boundaries?</h3>

The equation is given as:

25x^2 - 144y^2 + 3600 = 0

Subtract 3600 from both sides

25x^2 - 144y^2 = -3600

Divide both sides by -3600

\frac{y^2}{25} - \frac{x^2}{144} = 1

Express as squares

\frac{y^2}{5^2} - \frac{x^2}{12^2} = 1

The asymptotes' equation are then represented as:

y =\pm \frac{12}{5}

Hence, the equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5

The equations that represent the boundaries of the light are y = -12/5 and y = 12/5.

<h3>What is Hyperbola?</h3>

A hyperbola, a type of smooth curve lying in a plane, has two pieces, called connected components or branches, that are mirror images of each other and resemble two infinite bows.

Here, the given equation:

     25x² – 144y² + 3,600 = 0

    25x² - 144y² = -3600

Divide whole equation by (-3600), we get

     -x²/144 + y²/25 = 1

      y²/5² - x²/12² = 1

The asymptotes' equation are then represented as:

     y = ± 12/5x

Thus, y equals twelve fifths x and y equals negative twelve fifths x.

The product of twice a number and six is the same as the difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 fine the number
solmaris [256]

Answer:

x= -1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

suppose ,

The  number is x

now,

twice a number = 2 . x = 2x

The product of twice a number and six = 2x . 6 = 12x

  [ "product" means the result of multiplication]

Then,

Eleven times the number = 11 . x = 11x

The difference of eleven times the number and 1/4 = 11x - 1/4

                                                                                       =  (44x-1)/4

Hence,

 12x = (44x-1)/4

=>48x = 44x-1        [multiplied by 4 on both sides]    

=>48x-44x=-1         [subtract 44x on both sides]    

=>4x=-1                   [divide both sides by 4]  

=>x= -1/4

aniked [119]

Answer: $1.28 = cost of 8 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.60 / 10 = cost of 1 orange

$0.16 = cost of 1 orange

$0.16 (8) = cost of 8 oranges

$1.28 = cost of 8 oranges

Two Parallel lines are cut by a transcersal and form a pair of alternate exterior angles. One angle measures (6x + 5) and the ot
zaharov [31]

Answer:

11° is the measure of the exterior angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:   Alternate exterior angles are congruent when two parallel lines cut by a transversal.

First we solve for x using the theorem

6x + 5 = 7x + 4

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into 6x + 5

6(1) + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11°
