ill decides to move her fish from a 20 gallon aquarium to a 50 gallon aquarium. She added 3 tablespoons of salt to her old aquar

ium. If she wishes to maintain to same salinity level, how many tablespoons should she add to her new aquarium?

In the old aquarium, 3 tablespoons of salt were used for 20 gallons. That's a conversion ratio of

\dfrac{3\,\rm tbsp}{20\,\rm{gal}}=0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}

That is, for every gallon of water in the aquarium, there was 0.15 tbsp of salt. So a 50 gallon aquarium, Ill should add

(50\,\rm{gal})\left(0.15\,\dfrac{\rm tbsp}{\rm gal}\right)=7.5\,\rm{tbsp}

to maintain the salinity.

A line has this equation: x + 10y = 60
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

y=10x+99

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original line and use the point-slope formula y−y1=m(x−x1) to find the line perpendicular to x+10y=60.

If f(x)=3x-6 then find f(4)
masya89 [10]

Answer:

f(4) = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x - 6

f(4) = 3(4) - 6

f(4) = 12 - 6

f(4) = 6

Hey! I'v been struggling with this question lately. Can someone just lend me a hand?
Dominik [7]
So, this problem is asking us to find the value of our variable u. 

How can you do this? By isolating the variable, or having only it on one side of the equals sign. 

Here's the step by step approach. It's just simple algebra and reverse order of operation (which is what you should do whenever you are solving for a variable).

\frac{u+88}{11} = 17

Multiply both sides by 11 to get rid of the 11 denominator.
u + 88 = 187

Then, subtract both sides by 88 to get u by itself.
u = 99

Therefore, u is equal to 99.

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is \frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1.

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2}  - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21 {Since e = \frac{5}{2} given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be  

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1. (Answer)
