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 :)

A cube, is made off 6 squarial faces, so all faces on that cube, are squares, the front, back, left, right, top and bottom.

a square has all equal sides, and also all right angles, so all angles in a square are 90°.  Let's say the sides are "x" long.

now, if we run a plane on that cube diagonally, check the picture below, the diagonal side at the bottom, by usin the 45-45-90 rule as you see it there, will be x√2.

let's keep in mind that, "x" is opposite side of that angle θ, and then x√2 will be the adjacent side of it.

and we can use those two to get the tangent and then the inverse tangent to get the value, as you see it in the picture.

if you need the angle in radians, run the inverse tangent again, just make sure your calculator is in radians mode.
