Your answer would be B. An elevation at sea level
This is because if you picture it like a grid, -20 on the y axis is below 0, and 0 on the y axis is the y axis, so it would be on sea level.

I hope this helps!

How to find the vertices of the hyperbole
torisob [31]

The answer is the second one

If you want a fast explanation

You have to remember that the minus sign indicates which direction the hyperbole will follow, if the minus is on x, that indicates the hyperbole will be vertical, and if the minus is in y, then it'll be horizontal

If you check the vertices points those indicates the length of 2a thus thatll be 6

To get the center just use middle point equation and you'll get (1,3)

Just to know, a indicates the distance from the center to the vertices, b indicates how wide the hyperbole box is, and c indicates the distance from center to focis

A=3

B=?

C=6

We use Pythagoras so

b =  \sqrt{(6) ^{2}  - (3) ^{2}  }

Thus you get

b =  \sqrt{27}

With that data now you can get the equation

You know that below (y-3)^2 there should be a^2 so that means there will be the 9

And in the (x-1)^2 there should be b^2 so that means there will be the 27

PD. The 3 besides y, and 1 besides x represent the center

Solve the following:<br> a) 4x-1 / 2= x+7<br> b)<br> 3x + 2 = 2x + 13 /3
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

a) 2.5

b)2.33

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

4x-\frac{1}{2}= x+7

Bring the numerals to the right hand side and the x terms to the left hand side

4x-x=7+\frac{1}{2}

Simplify

3x=\frac{15}{2}

Divide 3 on both sides, to get x

x=\frac{5}{2} =2.5

b)

3x+2=2x+\frac{13}{3}

Bring the numerals to the right hand side and the x terms to the left hand side

3x-2x=\frac{13}{3}-2

Simplify

x=\frac{7}{3} =2.33

X+y=5<br> x×y=6<br> Solve simultaneously with steps
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

(3, 2), (2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 5

xy = 6

Solve the first equation for x.

x = 5 - y

Substitute 5 - y for x in the second equation.

xy = 6

(5 - y)y = 6

5y - y² = 6

y² - 5y + 6 = 0

Factor.

(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

y - 2 = 0  or y - 3 = 0

y = 2  or y = 3

Now substitute 2 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

One solution is x = 3; y = 2, or (3, 2).

Now substitute 3 for y in the first equation and solve for x.

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

x = 2

Another solution is x = 2; y = 3, or (3, 2).

Answer: (3, 2), (2, 3)

Dan says that all quadrilaterals are parallelograms. Tom says that it is not true. Explain who is correct??
sineoko [7]
Tom is correct, and Dan is wrong. A quadrilateral is a closed figure with four sides, for example, like a kite. A parallelogram is a four sided rectangular figure with opposite sides that are parallel.
