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 :)

Company has 189 employees that share an office that has 32 floors. If they built another building for 50 employees, how high sho
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

8 floors

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of employees is directly proportional to the number of floors that each building has.

The first building has 32 floors and it occupies 189 employees. Therefore:

189 α 32

=> 189 = k * 32 = 32k

where k = constant of proportionality

=> k = 189/32

The new building has 50 employees, therefore:

50 = kN

where N = number of floors

=> 50 = 189/32 * N

N = (50 * 32) / 189 ≅ 8 floors

The new building should have 8 floors

anygoal [31]

Answer:

x + y = 330  and 9x + 16y = 4650

Step-by-step explanation:

At a museum, the admission price for children is $9 and the admission price for adults is $18. The total amount the museum collects in admissions for the day is $4959. The total number of visitors is 319.

x = number of children

y = number of adults

x + y = 330

9x + 16y = 4650
