Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{5x - 19}$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A ——— B ——— C

AC = 8x - 20

AB = 3x - 1

BC = AC - AB

BC = (8x - 20) - (3x - 1)

Distributing negative sign.

BC = 8x - 20 - 3x + 1

Combining like terms.

BC = 5x - 19

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

1. Find the vertices and locate the foci for the hyperbola whose equation is given.

Irina18 [472]

$\bf \cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad
 vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\textit{now let's take a look at yours}
\\\\\\
49x2 - 16y2 = 784\implies \cfrac{49x^2}{784}-\cfrac{16y^2}{784}=1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{x^2}{16}-\cfrac{y^2}{49}=1\implies \cfrac{(x-0)^2}{4^2}-\cfrac{(y-0)^2}{7^2}=1
\\\\\\
recall\implies center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad vertices\ ({{ h}}\pm a, {{ k}})
\\\\\\
$

$\bf \textit{now, for the foci, the foci are "c" distance from the center point}\\\\\
whereas\qquad c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\qquad \textit{ that is }\qquad h\pm \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

notice your "a" and "b" components, to get the distance "c" from the center to either foci and the vertices, of course, are h + a, k and h - a, k

a box of candy contains 0.6 of pounds of caramels and 3.6 pounds of coconut what precent of the contents of the box

enyata [817]

Answer:

We know that the box has:

0.6lb of caramels

3.6lb of coconut.

Then the total mass of candy in the box is:

0.6lb + 3.6lb = 4.2lb

This is the 100% of the box.

Now, we can write this as:

4.2lb = 100%

For example, if we want to know which percentage is caramels, we write the equation:

0.6lb = X

We want to find the value of X

Then we have two equations:

0.6lb = X

4.2lb = 100%

Let's take the quotient of these two equations:

(0.6lb/4.2lb) = X/100%

Now we can solve this for X:

(0.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = X = 14.3%

the caramels represent the 14.3% of the wheight of the box.

And for the coconut candy, we have the relation:

3.6lb = Y

Now let's do the same again, we start with the two equations:

3.6lb = Y

4.2lb = 100%

Take the quotient:

(3.6lb/4.2lb) = Y/100%

Solve for Y:

(3.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = Y = 85.7%

Now we found the percentage that represent each type of candy in the box.
