Supposse that the distance from the point (x,y) to the point (3,0) is equal to the distance from  (x,y) to the point (7,0). Then, by the formula of the distnace we must have

\sqrt{(x-3)^2 + (y-0)^2}=\sqrt{(x-7)^2 + (y-0)^2}

cancel the square root and the (y-0)^2's, and then expand the parenthesis to obtain

x^2 - 6x + 9 = x^2 - 14x + 49

then, simplifying we obtain

8x = 40

therfore we must have

x=5

this means that the points satisfying the propertie must have first component equal to 5. So we can give a lot of examples of such points: (5,0), (5,7),(5,1/2), (5,-10),.... The set of this points give us a straight line and the points (3,0) and (7,0) are symmetric with respect to this line.

An army base in the desert is located at the origin, O of an x-y coordinate system. A soldier at point P needs to determine his
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer/step-by-step explanation

The soldier at point P lie on a parabola because he determined his position and distances from towns A and B through measurement of the difference in timing (phase) of radio signals received from the two towns.

This analysis of the signal time difference gives the difference in distance of the soldier at P, from the towns.

This process is known as hyperbolic navigation.

These distances of point P from towns A and B is estimated by the soldier at point P, by measuring the delay localizes the receiver to a hyperbolic line on a chart.

Two hyperbolic lines will be drawn by taking timing measurements from the

towns A and B .

Point P will be at the intersection of the lines.

These distances of point P(The soldier's positions) from town A and town B were determined using the timing of the signals received from the two towns, due to the fact that point P was on a certain hyperbola.

Schach [20]

The data given on the table about the ten participants in the health study shows that B. The post-run mean and median are the same value.

<h3>What is the post run mean?</h3>

This can be found as:

= (87 + 95 + 96 + 101 + 110 + 104 + 100 + 101 + 90 + 96) / 10

= 98

<h3>What is the post run median?</h3>

First order the pulses from smallest to largest:

= 87, 90, 95, 96, 96, 100, 101, 101, 104, 110

The two digits in the middle are:

96 and 100

The median will be:

= (96 + 100) / 10

= 98

In conclusion, option B is correct.

A tree struck by lightning in a storm breaks and falls over to form a triangle with the ground. The tip of the tree makes a 36°
liraira [26]

Answer: approximately 49 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the tree is shown in the attached photo. The tree fell with its tip forming an angle of 36 degrees with the ground. It forms a right angle triangle,ABC. Angle C is gotten by subtracting the sum of angle A and angle B from 180(sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees).

To determine the height of the tree, we will apply trigonometric ratio

Tan # = opposite/ adjacent

Where # = 36 degrees

Opposite = x feets

Adjacent = 25 feets

Tan 36 = x/25

x = 25tan36

x = 25 × 0.7265

x = 18.1625

Height of the tree from the ground to the point where it broke = x = 18.1625 meters.

The entire height of the tree would be the the length of the fallen side of the tree, y + 18.1625m

To get y, we will use Pythagoras theorem

y^2 = 25^2 + 18.1625^2

y^2 = 625 + 329.88

y^2 = 954.88

y = √954.88 = 30.9 meters

Height of the tree before falling was

18.1625+30.9 = 49.0625

The height of the tree was approximately 49 feets

I’m stuck on these questions
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

In my opinion both of the lines are tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a tangent to a circle is a straight line which touches the circle at only one point. This point is called the point of tangency. The tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
