Answer:

Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represent Shen, A, Aldo and H, Heather

Now, let's interpret the question

Shen served 2 times as many as Aldo, this gives:

S = 2A          ...eq 1

Aldo served 7 more orders than Heater

A = 7 + H     ... eq 2

Slot in the value of A in eq 1

Therefore,

S = 2 (7 + H)

Expand the bracket

S = 14 + 2H

Shen, Heather and Aldo served a total of 57 orders

S + A + H = 57

Slot in the values of S and A

(14 + 2H) + (7 + H) + H = 57

14 + 2H + 7 + H + H = 57

Collect like terms

14 + 7 + 2H + H + H = 57

21 + 4H = 57

4H = 57 - 21

4H = 36

H = 9

Substitute the value of eq 2

A = 7 + H

A = 7 + 9

A = 16

Substitute the value of A in eq 1

S = 2A

S = 2(16)

S = 32

Therefore, Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

What is the solution set?
rosijanka [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

x \div 4 \leqslant 9 \div x

x ^{2}  \leqslant 36

x {}^{2}  - 36 \leqslant 0

x  {}^{2} { - 6}^{2}  \leqslant 0

(x + 6)(x - 6) \leqslant 0

x \leqslant  - 6 \:  \: or \:  \:  \: x \leqslant 6

- 6 \geqslant x \leqslant 6

From the explanation the correct answer is the last one from the question above

Which is the equation of a hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)? y squared over 40 minus x square
N76 [4]

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

<h3>How to determine the equation of the hyperbola?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Directrices at x = ±2
  • Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)

The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:

Foci = (k ± c, h)

The center is:

Center = (h,k)

And the directrix is:

Directrix, x = h ± a²/c

By comparison, we have:

k ± c = ±5

h = 0

h ± a²/c = ±2

Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2

0 ± a²/c = ±2

This gives

a²/c = 2

Multiply both sides by c

a² = 2c

k ± c = ±5 means that:

k ± c = 0 ± 5

By comparison, we have:

k = 0 and c = 5

Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c

a² = 2 * 5

a² = 10

Next, we calculate b using:

b² = c² - a²

This gives

b² = 5² - 10

Evaluate

b² = 15

The hyperbola is represented as:

\frac{(x - k)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - h)^2}{b^2} = 1

So, we have:

\frac{(x - 0)^2}{10} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{15} = 1

Evaluate

\frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1

Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is \frac{x^2}{10} + \frac{y^2}{15} = 1
