A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated

and the ship is found to lie on a hyperbolic path described by y2 - 2x2 = 7. if it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.

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 :)

Show that 3650 is not a perfect square.​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

A number that is a perfect square never ends in 2, 3, 7 or 8. If your number ends in any of those numbers, you can stop here because your number is not a perfect square. Obtain the digital root of the number. The digital root essentially is the sum of all of the digits.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps you super sorry if it does not

What is the rule of a function of the form f(t)= a sin (bt+c) +d whose graph appears to be identical to the given graph?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Option A.

f(x) = -4*sin((1/3)*t + (π/6))  + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can easily solve this problem by using a graphing calculator or plotting tool.

The function is

f(t) = a*sin (b*t +c) + d

Please, see attached picture below.

By looking at the picture with all the possible cases, we can tell that the correct option is A.

The function has a period of T = 6π

Max . Amplitude = 7

Min . Amplitude = -1

Each<br>angles<br>of<br>an equilateral<br>traingle is 60, proove it<br>experimentally<br>​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

We knwo this is true because a triangle angle theorem is that the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

Since tri = 3 then,

=> 180/3 = 60

Equal = same --> def. of equilateral triangle

Thus, we know it is true that in an equilateral triangle, each angle is 60 degrees

Hope this helps!
