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 :)

Solve for b. Round your answer to the nearest whole degree.
Talja [164]

Answer:

44°

Step-by-step explanation:

From sin rule:

a / sin A = b / sin B = c / Sin C

3.6 / sin b = 5.1 / sin 100

Cross multiply :

5.1 * sinb = 3.6 * sin 100

Sin b = 3.5453079 / 5.1

Sin b = 0.6951584

b = sin^-1(0.6951584)

b = 44.039

b = 44°

Which equation represents a line that passes through 4 6) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x - 4y= 6
Pachacha [2.7K]

Parallel means their slopes should equal to each other.

Thus we need to find the slope of the given line ,

Let's do it.....

3x - 4y = 6

Subtract sides -3x

- 3x + 3x - 4y =  - 3x + 6

- 4y =  - 3x + 6

Divided sides by -4

\frac{ - 4}{ - 4}y =  \frac{ - 3}{ - 4}x +  \frac{6}{ - 4} \\

y = \frac{3}{4}x -  \frac{3}{2}  \\

This is the slope-intercept of the line.

We know that the coefficient of the x in slope-intercept form , is the slope of the line.

Thus the slope of the equation which we want is :

slope =  \frac{3}{4} \\

_________________________________

We have following equation to find the point-slope form of the linear functions.

y - y(given \: point) = slope \times (x - x(g \: p) \: ) \\

Now just need to put the slope and the given point in the above equation.

y - 6 =  \frac{3}{4} \times (x - 4) \\

Multiply sides by 4

4(y - 6) = 3(x - 4)

4y - 24 = 3x - 12

Plus sides 24

4y - 24 + 24 = 3x - 12 + 24

4y = 3x + 12

Subtract sides -3x

4y - 3x = 3x - 3x + 12

4y - 3x = 12

And we're done....♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A square piece of paper has an area of 36 square inches what is the perimeter of the paper​
Gekata [30.6K]

Lets represent the side of the square as s , since we know the area is 36. write s

{s}^{2}  = 36

s = \sqrt{36}

the square root of 36 is 6. So, we know the side is 6. The formula for perimeter is P= s+s+s+s , but since it is a square and all the sides are equal, for a perimeter of a square you can do p= 4s , now substitute 6 for s to get 4(6)=24 so the perimeter of a square would be 24 inches

Lena found a 5/8
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats

Step-by-step explanation:

* The diamond ring weighed 5/8 carats

- To know who is right lets change the fraction 5/8 to a decimal number

∵ 5/8 means 5 ÷ 8

- 5 is smaller than 8 so we will multiply it by 10 and

 insert decimal point in the quotient (answer of division)

∴ It will be 50 ÷ 8 = 6 and remainder 2/8 ⇒ 1/4

∴ The quotient = 0.6 and remainder 1/4

- 1 is smaller than 4 so we will multiply it by 10

∴ It will be 10 ÷ 4 = 2 and remainder 2/4 ⇒ 1/2

∴ The quotient = 0.62 and remainder 1/2

- 1 is smaller than 2 so we will multiply it by 10

∴ It will be 10 ÷ 2 = 5 without remainder

∴ The quotient = 0.625

* Naomi had the correct measurement the ring weighed 0.625 carats
