Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is halfway between the focus and the directrix.

So here the directrix is a vertical line to the left of the vertex and passing through the point (2-3, 9) = (-1, 9)

It is x = -1.

A pro baseball team is having a promotion in which every 10th fan that enters the stadium gets a free hat and every 12th person

mixas84 [53]

Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60
This means the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, ... fan will get a free hat.
Multiples of 12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
This means the 12th, 24th, 36th, 48th, 60th, ... fan will get a free shirt.
So the 60th fan will receive both a hat and a shirt.
Meaning 60 fans will come to the stadium before a fan receives both a hat and a shirt.

A circular quilt is made from 113.04 square feet of fabric. How much trim is needed to go around it’s edge?

erik [133]

Hey there!

We are looking for the circumference of the circle, which is the distance around it. We are given the area, which is the radius squared times pi.

First, we need to undo the area to find our radius.

113.04/3.14=36

We square root this to find the radius.

√36=6

Our radius is six. To find the circumference, we need to multiply the diameter by pi. The diameter is twice the radius.

6*2=12

12*3.14=37.68

Therefore, we will need 37.68 feet of trim to around the edge of the quilt.

I hope this helps!

Segment PH is graphed on the coordinate grid where P is (-31,8) and H is (29,-10). Point E is the midpoint of segment PH. If poi

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

- The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

- The coordinates of point H are (29 , -10)

- Point E is the mid-point of segment PH

- The coordinates of the the mid-point are:

→ $x=\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}$ and $y=\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}$

∵ E is the mid-point of segment PH

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is $x=\frac{-31+29}{2}=-1$

∴ The x-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is $y=\frac{8+-10}{2}=-1$

∴ The y-coordinate of point E is -1

∴ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

- Point A is graphed $\frac{2}{3}$ of the way along the segment from P to E

- That mean the distances from points P to A is 2 parts and from P to E

is 3 parts, then the distance from A to E is "3 - 2" = 1 part

- So point A divides the line segment PE at ratio 2 : 1 from P

- The coordinates of the division point are:

→ $x=\frac{x_{1}m_{2}+x_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$ and $y=\frac{y_{1}m_{2}+y_{2}m_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$

∵ Point A divides PE at ratio 2 : 1

∵ The coordinates of point P are (-31 , 8)

∵ The coordinates of point E are (-1 , -1)

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is $x=\frac{(-31)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}= -11$

∴ The x-coordinate of point A is -11

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is $x=\frac{(8)(1)+(-1)(2)}{2+1}=2$

∴ The y-coordinate of point A is 2

∴ The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

* The coordinates of point A are (-11 , 2)

The answer would be A) 8.75

To solve you substitute the numbers into the equation y=kx
350=40k
then you would divide and get 8.75

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this particular scenario, based on the numbers I would say that it does not make sense to represent this with a constant rate. That is because in a span of three years the change between each year is completely different, for example, between the first and second year there was a change of

9.75 - 8.50 = 1.25 dollar change

1.25 / 8.50 = 0.147 or a 14.7% increase

Between the second and third year, there was a change of

12 - 9.75 = 2.25 dollar change

2.25 / 9.75 = 0.23 or 23% increase

Therefore, each year the percent and dollar value increase is increasing more and more which would not be a constant rate.
