A camera is placed in front of a hyperbolic mirror. The equation of the hyperbola that models the mirror is y^2/16-x^2/9=1 where

x and y are in inches the camera is pointed toward the vertex of the hyperbolic mirror and is positioned such that the lens is at the nearest focus to that vertex. The lens is_____ inch(es) from the mirror.

Answer:

The lens is 6 inches from the mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance of the lens from the mirror, if  the camera is pointed toward the vertex of the hyperbolic mirror and is positioned such that the lens is at the nearest focus to that vertex.

Given:

\frac{y^2}{16} - \frac{x^2}{9}=1

where a² = 16 and b² = 9

Then c² = a² + b²

c² = 16+9

c² = 25

c= √25 = 5

The hyperbola is centered at (0,0)

The vertex is at (0,a) = (0,4)

The foci is at (0,c) = (0,5)

The distance from vertex to focus is

d= c-a = 5-4 = 1 inches

Total distance from lens to mirror is sum of distance d and foci c:

5+1= 6 inches

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y = 2x+5?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

slope = - \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 2x + 5 is in this form with slope m = 2

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{2}

Solve the following system by the comparison method.
agasfer [191]

Answer:

2p + q = 1

9p + 3q + 3 = 0

q = 1 - 2p

replace q = 1 - 2p into 9p + 3q + 3 = 0

9p + 3(1 - 2p) + 3 = 0

9p + 3 - 6p + 3 = 0

3p + 6 =0

3p = -6

p = -2

q = 1 - 2p

q = 1 -2(-2)

q = 1 + 4

q = 5

(-2 , 5)

there for the answer would be

{(-2, 5)}

Hopefully this was helpful <3 :3
