Answer:

Start with the flashlight parallel to the wall. If you incline it slightly away from the wall, the (conical) beam will still hit the wall and you'll get a hyperbola. It is only after the angle of the flashlight to the wall is greater than the angle of the light cone that the hyperbola vanishes at infinity.

Brad has eight more nickels than quarters. Altogether he has $6.10. how many of each does he have
wlad13 [49]

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total worth of nickels and quarters = $6.10 = 6.10*100 = 610 cents

One quarter = 25 cents

One nickel = 5 cents

Let,

x represent the number of quarters.

y represent the number of nickels.

According to given statement;

25x+5y=610     Eqn 1

y = x+8              Eqn 2

Putting value of y from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

25x+5(x+8)=610\\25x+5x+40=610\\30x=610-40\\30x=570

Dividing both sides by 30

\frac{30x}{30}=\frac{570}{30}\\x=19

Putting x=19 in Eqn 2

y=19+8\\y=27

Brad have 19 quarters and 27 nickels.

10

Step-by-step explanation:

(btw the first question answer is -4, not 0)

So to solve the 2nd equation you substitute t with 30

so 30-2/3*30

30-20=10

Jasmine buys 3 T-Shirts and 3 Hats for $11.25. The next day, he buys 4 T-Shirts and 2 Hats for $10. How much does each T-Shirt a
leonid [27]

Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

You are designing a rectangular swimming pool that is to be sent into the ground. The width of the pool is 5 feet more than the
Vikentia [17]

Answer:  depth = 5 ft

width =  10 ft

length =  40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

d =  depth

width = d + 5

length = d + 36

Volume = length x width x depth = 2000 cf

d(d+35)(d+5) = 2000

d(d^{2} + 40d + 175) = 2000

d^3 + 40d^2 + 175d = 2000

rewrite in standard cubic polynomial form : ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0

d^3 + 40(d^2) + 175d - 2000 = 0

Find the roots of the cubic polynomial:

factors of 2000 are 1, 5, 10 15, 20, etc.

Try the factor 5 first by plugging it in the equation:

5^3 + 40(5^2) + 175(5) - 2000 = 0  

Lucky break!  No need to find the other roots because they will be negative, and you can't have a negative value for a pool depth.

So, depth = 5 ft

width = 5 + 5 = 10 ft

length = 5 + 35 = 40 ft
