Given the 2:3 ratio, we know there are 2 witches for every 3 mummies.

Cross multiply to solve the proportion for mummies.

(2/3) = (12/m)

2m = 36

m = 18

There were 18 mummies at the party.

Identify the expression with nonnegative limit values. More info on the pic. PLEASE HELP.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

\lim _{x\to 2}\:\frac{x-2}{x^2-2}\\\\  \lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{x^2+6x-187}{x^2+3x-154}\\\\ \lim _{x\to \frac{5}{2}}\left\frac{2x^2+x-15}{2x-5}\right

Step-by-step explanation:

a) \lim _{x\to 3}\:\frac{x^2-10x+21}{x^2+4x-21}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{\left(x-7\right)\left(x-3\right)}{\left(x+7\right)\left(x-3\right)}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{x-7}{x+7}=\frac{3-7}{3+7}=-\frac{4}{10}=-\frac{2}{5}

b) \lim _{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2-5x-12}{2x+3}\right)=\lim \:_{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\:\frac{\left(2x+3\right)\left(x-4\right)}{\left(2x+3\right)}=\lim \:\:_{x\to \:-\frac{3}{2}}\:\left(x-4\right)=-\frac{3}{2}-4\\ \\ \lim _{x\to -\frac{3}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2-5x-12}{2x+3}\right)=-\frac{11}{2}

c) \lim _{x\to 2}\:\frac{x-2}{x^2-2}=\frac{2-2}{\left(2\right)^2-2}=\frac{0}{4-2}=0

d) \lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{x^2+6x-187}{x^2+3x-154}=\lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{\left(x-11\right)\left(x+17\right)}{\left(x-11\right)\left(x+14\right)}=\lim _{x\to 11}\:\frac{\left(x+17\right)}{\left(x+14\right)}=\frac{11+17}{11+14}=\frac{28}{25}

e) \lim _{x\to 3}\:\frac{x^2-8x+15}{x-3}=\lim \:_{x\to \:3}\:\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x-5\right)}{x-3}=\lim _{x\to 3}\left(x-5\right)=3-5=-2

f) \lim _{x\to \frac{5}{2}}\left(\frac{2x^2+x-15}{2x-5}\right)=\lim \:_{x\to \:\frac{5}{2}}\frac{\left(2x-5\right)\left(x+3\right)}{2x-5}=\lim \:\:_{x\to \:\:\frac{5}{2}}\left(x+3\right)=\frac{5}{2}+3=\frac{11}{2}

the train traveled at an average speed of 48 miles per hour for the first 2 hours and at 60 miles an hour for the next hours. Wh
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:  56 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

48 miles x 2 hours = 96 miles

60 miles x 4 hours =  240 miles

240 + 96 = 360 total miles

360 / 6 (hours) = 56 mph

Part 3: Write the equation of and graph an ellipse.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The center is halfway between vertices, at (4, -6).

It is also halfway between foci.

:::::

The vertices are vertically aligned, so the parabola is vertical.

General equation for a vertical ellipse:

 (y-k)²/a² + (x-h)²/b² = 1

with

 center (h,k)

 vertices (h,k±a)

 co-vertices (h±b,k)

 foci (h,k±c), c² = a²-b²

Apply your data and solve for h, k, a, and b.

center (h,k) = (4, -6)

h = 4

k = -6

vertices (4,-6±a) = (4,-6±9)

a = 9

foci (4,-6±c) = (4,-6±5√2)

b² = a² - c² = 9² - (5√2)² = 31

b = √31

The equation becomes

 (y+6)²/81 + (x-4)²/31 = 1

:::::

length of major axis = 2a = 18

length of minor axis = 2b = 2√31

The line through (4,-1) and (k,5) is parallel to the line y=-3x+5. FInd the value of k.
Tema [17]

Answer:

k = 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 = - 3x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus the 2 points have a slope of - 3

calculate the slope using the slope formula and equate to - 3

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 5)

m = \frac{5+1}{k-4} = \frac{6}{k-4} = - 3 ( multiply both sides by (k - 4) )

- 3(k - 4) = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

k - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

k = 2
