9 (2x-5) =

Remember to look at words that indicate an operation is to take place (Eg: "times" (x) "less than" (-) "Twice x" (2x))

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$9(2x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a verbal expression

Nine times five less than twice x

We have to convert into an algebraic expression

Twice of x= $2x$

Five less than twice x=2x-5

According to question

$9(2x-5)$

Hence, algebraic expression= $9(2x-5)$

Write an equation in standard form of the hyperbola described.

marishachu [46]

Check the picture below, so the hyperbola looks more or less like so, so let's find the length of the conjugate axis, or namely let's find the "b" component.

$\textit{hyperbolas, horizontal traverse axis } \\\\ \cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ b^2}=1 \qquad \begin{cases} center\ ( h, k)\\ vertices\ ( h\pm a, k)\\ c=\textit{distance from}\\ \qquad \textit{center to foci}\\ \qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\begin{cases} h=0\\ k=0\\ a=2\\ c=4 \end{cases}\implies \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{b^2} \\\\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies 4^2=2^2+b^2\implies 16=4+b^2\implies \underline{12=b^2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{2^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{12}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{x^2}{4}-\cfrac{y^2}{12}}$
