Esmeralda likes to listen to music while she works out. She had a playlist on her mp3 player that lasted 40 minutes,but she acci
1 answer:
Answer:
Esmeralda has enough music left in her playlist for a 30 minute workout
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If Esmeralda accidentally deleted 25% of the music, then the percentage of music left in her playlist equals 100%-25%=75%.
Find out how many minutes represent 75% of 40 minutes
Multiply 40 by 0.75
therefore
Esmeralda has enough music left in her playlist for a 30 minute workout

The equation of a parallel line will have the same x-term, but a different constant (y-intercept). The required value can be found by putting the given point values in to the equation to see what it needs to be.
... y = 5x + ___
... 8 = 5·4 + ___
... 8 - 20 = -12 = ___
Your equation is ...
... y = 5x -12
First of all we have to figure out what type of a conic this is. We know it's not a parabola because it has both an x-squared term and a y-squared term. There's a plus sign separating the squared terms so we know it also cannot be a hyperbola. It's either a circle or an ellipse. If this was simply a circle, though, we would not have leading coefficients on the squared terms (other than a 1). Circles have a standard form of 
. That makes this an ellipse. Let's group together the x terms and the y terms and move the constant over and complete the squares to see what we have. 
. Since there's only 1 term with the x squared expression we cannot complete the square on the x's but we can on the y terms. First, though, the rule for completing the square is that the leading coefficient has to be a 1 and ours is a 25, so let's factor it out. 
. To complete the square we take half the linear term, square it, and add it to both sides. Our linear term is 8. Half of 8 is 4, and 4 squared is 16. So we add a 16 into the parenthesis, BUT we cannot disregard that 26 sitting out front there. It refuses to be ignored. It is still considered a multiplier. So what we are really adding on to the right side is 25*16 which is 400. 
which simplifies to 
. The standard form of an ellipse is 
if its horizontal axis is the transverse axis, or 
if its vertical axis is the transverse axis. Notice that the a and b moved as the difference between the 2 equations. A is always the larger value and dictates which ellipse you have, horizontal or vertical. Our equation has a 225 on the right, so we will divide both sides by 225 to get that much-needed 1 on the right: 
. Because 25 is larger than 9, this is a horizontal ellipse, our a value is the square root of 25 which is 5, and our b value is the square root of 9 which is 3. The center is (0, 4). You want the focus and now we can find it. The formula for the focus is 
where c is the distance from the center to the focus. We have an a and a b to find c: 
, which gives us that c=4. The focus is 4 units from the center and always lies on the transverse axis. It shares a y value with the center and moves from the x-coordinate of the center the value of c. Our center is (0, 4) so our y value of the focus is 4; our x coordinate of the center is 0, so the x value of the focus is 4. The coordinates of the focus are (4, 4).
