Oh boy. I don't know how to solve this off the top of my head so this answer may ramble a bit as I figure it out as I go along.

At least two numbers have to be close in value, one positive and one negative, in order for a+b+c to be true

Let's see, ABC=-12

If one letter was 4, 1, and -3 they would add to 2 and multiply to -12. I got these by just trying a bunch of combinations.

I'm pretty sure these are the right numbers, but which is which we need the AB+BC+AC formula to figure out.

IF: a=4 b=1 c=-3
4 -3 -12 = -11. Wow, first try, for reals!

A equals 4. B=1. C=-3

Would other combinations work?
a=1 b=-3 c=4
-3 + -12 + 4 = -11

Yes, other combinations work as well. Well, you have your numbers and two ways they can go. Hope this helps!

Find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola with the following equation.
frosja888 [35]
You are given the equation 36 = 9x² + 4y². You are asked to find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. A hyperbola has the following general equation x²/a² + y²/b² = 1. the goal here is to find the slopes of the hyperbolic equation. So divide both sides by 36

36 = 9x² + 4y²
(1/36)[36 = 9x² + 4y²]
1 = x²/4 + y²/9
a² = 4
a = 2
and
b² = 9
b = 3

To find the slope, divide a/b and you will get 2/3.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

312 employees participated in the training

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2

there are 26 instructors for the training

let the total number of instructors be I = 26

let the total number of employees be e = ?

employee to instructor ratio is 24 to 2, e : I = 24 : 2

e : I = 24 : 2  = e : 26

\frac{24}{2} = \frac{e}{26} \\\\e = 12 *26\\\\e = 312

Therefore, the total number of employees who participated in the training is 312
