Answer:

lions=105  elephants=252

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there is a total of 375 lions and elephants. We also know the ratio of those. With these two we can build an equation that gives us the exact number of each of the two species.

We can multiply the ratio by x:

(5/12)*(x/x)

now we have:

5x/12x

we input these new data into the total number of both animals:

5x+12x=357

17x=357

x=357/17

x=21

remember x is not the number of any of the animals

number of lions is 5x=5*21=105

number of elephants is 12x=12*21=252

Answer:

\textsf{Apply the Perfect Square Formula}\quad (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2:

\implies (a+bi)^2=a^2+2abi+(bi)^2

\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a\cdot b)^c=a^cb^c:

\implies a^2+2abi+b^2i^2

i=\sqrt{-1} \implies i^2=-1

\textsf{Apply imaginary number rule} \quad i^2=-1:

\implies a^2+2abi+b^2(-1)

\implies a^2+2abi-b^2

\textsf{Collect the real parts:}

\implies a^2-b^2+2abi

\textsf{Factor the real parts by applying the Difference of Two Squares Formula}\\x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y) :

\implies (a+b)(a-b)+2abi

What is the radius of a circle with the equation x^2+y^2+6x-2y+3?
atroni [7]

Answer:

r = √13

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with x^2+y^2+6x-2y+3, group like terms, first x terms and then y terms:  x^2 + 6x            + y^2 -2y             = 3.  Please note that there has to be an " = " sign in this equation, and that I have taken the liberty of replacing " +3" with " = 3 ."  

We need to "complete the square" of x^2 + 6x.  I'll just jump in and do it:  Take half of the coefficient of the x term and square it; add, and then subtract, this square from x^2 + 6x:     x^2 + 6x  + 3^2 - 3^2.  Then do the same for y^2 - 2y:  y^2 - 2y + 1^2 - 1^2.

Now re-write the perfect square x^2 + 6x + 9 by (x + 3)^2.  Then we have x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9; also y^2 - 1y + 1 - 1.  Making these replacements:

(x + 3)^2 - 9 + (y - 1)^2 -1 = 3.  Move the constants -9 and -1 to the other side of the equation:  (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 3 + 9 + 1 = 13

Then the original equation now looks like (x + 3)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 13, and this 13 is the square of the radius, r:  r^2 = 13, so that the radius is r = √13.
