Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)
Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III
Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II
To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.
Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9
We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3
Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5
Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7x+7=5x-21
12x+7=5x-21
12x-5x=-21-7
7x=-28
x=28/7
x=4
METHOD 2:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x
7(x+1)=-21
7x+7=-21
7x=-28
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
METHOD 1:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7x+7=5x-21
12x+7=5x-21
12x-5x=-21-7
7x=-28
x=28/7
x=4
METHOD 2:
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21
5x+7(x+1)=5x-21-5x
7(x+1)=-21
7x+7=-21
7x=-28
x=4
Answer:
84 (nearest whole number)
Step-by-step explanation:
If x = 10,
Longest leg = (7 x 10) + 4 = 74
Shortest leg = 4 x 10 = 40
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle):
⇒ 74² + 40² = c²
⇒ 7076 = c²
⇒ c = √7076 = 84.11896...
⇒ hypotenuse = 84 (nearest whole number)
16*12=months
16*365=days
Then take that answer and multiply it by 24 for hours then take that number and multiply it by 60 for minutes and then take that number and multiply it by 60 for seconds.
1/12
This is because she has a 1/6 chance of getting a 3 on the first try and then a 1/2 chance of getting an even on the second. Multiply these two together to get your answer.
