Tom compared 2/12 and 7/6 by first comparing each fraction to 1/2 and 1. Step 1: 2/12 is less than 1/2. Step 2: 7/6 is less than

1 but more than 1/2. Step 3: So, 2/12 < 7/6 In which step did Tom mess up?

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

The range of the function f(k) = k2 + 2k + 1 is {25, 64}. What is the function’s domain?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
{k^2 + 2k + 1 = 25, k^2 + 2k + 1 = 64}
{k^2 + 2k - 24 = 0, k^2 + 2k - 63 = 0}
{(k - 4)(k + 6) = 0, (k - 7)(k + 9) = 0}
{k = -6, 4, -9, 7)
Therefore, range = {-9, -6, 4, 7)

When Sam gave Clarissa 105 chocolates, Clarissa had 5 times as many chocolates as Sam. They had 504 chocolates altogether. How m
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

315 chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Sam's chocolate be S

Let Clariss's chocolate be C

When Sam gave Clarissa 105 chocolates, Clarissa had 5 times as many chocolates as Sam.

This can be written as:

C = 5S

The sum of their chocolate is 504 i.e

S + C = 504

Now, let us determine the chocolate of Clarissa after receiving 105 chocolate from Sam. This can be obtained as follow:

S + C = 504

But: C = 5S

S + 5S = 504

6S = 504

Divide both side by 6

S = 504/6

S = 84.

C = 5S = 5 x 84 = 420

Therefore, Clarissa have 420 chocolate after receiving 105 chocolate from Sam.

Now, to know the amount of chocolate that Clarissa has at first, we simply subtract 105 from the present amount that Clarissa have. This is illustrated below:

Amount of chocolate that Clarissa has a first = 420 – 105 = 315

Therefore, Clarissa had 315 chocolate at first.
