Answer:

\frac{(x--3)^2}{49} -\frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a horizontal hyperbola with center (h,k) is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

The given hyperbola has vertices at (–10, 6) and (4, 6).

The length of its major axis is 2a=|4--10|.

\implies 2a=|14|

\implies 2a=14

\implies a=7

The center is the midpoint of the vertices (–10, 6) and (4, 6).

The center is (\frac{-10+4}{2},\frac{6+6}{2}=(-3,6)

We need to use the relation a^2+b^2=c^2 to find b^2.

The c-value is the distance from the center (-3,6) to one of the foci (6,6)

c=|6--3|=9

\implies 7^2+b^2=9^2

\implies b^2=9^2-7^2

\implies b^2=81-49

\implies b^2=32

We substitute these values into the standard equation of the hyperbola to obtain:

\frac{(x--3)^2}{7^2} - \frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1

\frac{(x+3)^2}{49} -\frac{(y-6)^2}{32}=1

Each question on a test was worth 5 points. What was the total number of points if there were n questions?
jarptica [38.1K]

The total number of points would be equal to 5n.

You would simply multiply 5 by the amount of questions. In this case, we do not know the amount, so we can use the variable n.

A room that contains 28 square yards was carpeted at a cost of $322. If
ASHA 777 [7]

The cost for carpeting 20 square yards is $230.

Further explanation:

First of all, we will calculate the cost for one square yard then will find the final answer.

So,

Given

Total area = 28 square yards

Cost of carpeting 28 square yards = $322

Cost of carpeting one square yard = 322/28 = $11.5 per square yard

Now to find the cost of carpeting 20 square yards

Cost of 20 square yards = 20*11.5

= $230

The cost for carpeting 20 square yards is $230.

Ln(x+2)-ln(4x+3)=ln(1/2*x)
iris [78.8K]
<span>ln(x+2)-ln(4x+3)=ln(1/2*x)

Using properties of  logarithms

</span>\frac{ln(x+2)}{ln(4x+3)} = ln  \frac{x}{2}&#10;\\ \\  \frac{x+2}{4x+3} = \frac{x}{2} &#10;\\ \\2(x+2)=x(4x+3)&#10;&#10;2x+4=4x^2+3x&#10;\\ \\ 4 x^{2} +x-4=0&#10;\\ \\ x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} &#10;\\ \\ x= \frac{ -1+/-\sqrt{1+64} }{8} &#10;\\ \\ x_{1} =  \frac{-1+ \sqrt{65} }{8} &#10;\\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{8} &#10;&#10;Check:&#10;&#10;When you substitute x_{2} into&#10;\\ \\ ln(4x+3)=ln(4* \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{8} ) =ln( \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{2} ) &#10;&#10;you will get negative number under ln,  that is impossible ,&#10;&#10;&#10;

so x2 is not a solution of this logarithmic equation.

Only x1 is a solution.
