The number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then the reciprocal will be 1/x

according to given statement

The sum of the reciprocal of a number and 3/5 is 7/10

\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{5} = \frac{7}{10}\\Taking\ LCM\\\frac{5+3x}{5x} = \frac{7}{10}\\Cross-multiplying\\10(5+3x) = 7(5x)\\50+30x=35x\\Subtracting\ 30x\ from\ both\ sides\\50+30x-30x=35x-30x\\50=5x\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{50}{5}\\x=10

The number is 10

This hyperbola is centered at theorigin. Find its equation.Foci: (-2,0) and (2,0)Vertices: (-1,0) and (1,0)
beks73 [17]

SOLUTION

From the question, the center of the hyperbola is

\begin{gathered} (h,k),\text{ which is } \\ (0,0) \end{gathered}

a is the distance between the center to vertex, which is -1 or 1, and

c is the distance between the center to foci, which is -2 or 2.

b is given as

\begin{gathered} b^2=c^2-a^2 \\ b^2=2^2-1^2 \\ b=\sqrt[]{3} \end{gathered}

But equation of a hyperbola is given as

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

Substituting the values of a, b, h and k, we have

\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-0)^2}{1^2}-\frac{(y-0)^2}{\sqrt[]{3}^2}=1 \\ \frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1 \end{gathered}

Hence the answer is

\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1

An elevator is on the twentieth floor. It goes down 11 floors and then up 5 floors. What floor is the elevator now
Llana [10]
To solve problems like this, we must simply break it down and read each part carefully. We can also set it up as a math problem to make it easier to visualize.

The elevator starts on the twentieth floor, so we will represent that with 20.

20

It goes down 11 floors, so we can represent that with a -11.

20-11=9

Now we are on floor 9. Then, we go up 5 floors, so we can represent that with a 5.

9+5=14

Using the math above, we can see the elevator is on the 14th floor.
