In mathematics, a conic section is a curve obtained as the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane. The three types of conic section are the hyperbola, the parabola, and the ellipse; the circle is a special case of the ellipse, though historically it was sometimes called a fourth type.

Conic sections are formed on a plane when that plane slices through the edge of one or both of a pair of right circular cones stacked tip to tip.

How many solutions are there to the equation below? -46 = 3x + 7x

horsena [70]

-46=3x+7x
-46=10x
X= 10/(-46)
X=-5/23

Therefore, the equation only has one solution

A police cruiser is traveling at 20.0 m/s when the officer spies a speeder. The cruiser accelerates at 3.0 m/s^2 for 5.0 seconds

Tema [17]

For the first 5.0 seconds, the cruiser covers a distance of

$\left(20.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s)^2=137.5\,\mathrm m$

At this point, the cruiser will have achieved a velocity of

$\left(20.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)+\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(5.0\,\mathrm s)=35\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

The cruiser will take

$\left(35\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)-\left(5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t=0\implies t=7.0\,\mathrm s$

to come to a stop as it decelerates. It will have covered a total distance of

$(137.5\,\mathrm m)+\left(35\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(7.0\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(-5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(7.0\,\mathrm s)^2=\boxed{260\,\mathrm m}$
