Answer:

Michael and Carlos will have the same amount after 7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the total number of baseball cards that Carlos and Michael need to have to be equal is y, and the amount of time in terms of weeks that it will take for this to be achieved is x.

The following expressions can be derived

For Carlos to achieve y, he will need 85 and an addition of 10 per week (x):

y=85+(10x)..........equation 1

For Michael to achieve y, he will need 120 and an addition of 5 per week (x):

y=120+(5x)..........equation 2

Equating equation 1 and 2 to solve for x

85+10x=120+5x

10x-5x=120-85

5x/5=35/5

x=7

Number of weeks it will take Michael and Carlos to have the same amount=x=7 weeks

The hospital buys cereal bars in packs of 4. In one day they sell 58 cereal bars. How many packs of cereal bars did they use tha
forsale [732]
Since the cereal bars are bought in a pack of 4 you would divide 58 by 4 to get the amount they used that day . 
58/4 = 14 and a half packs

Write the standard form equation of the ellipse shown in the graph, and identify the foci.
vlada-n [284]

Answer option A

From the given graph is a Vertical ellipse

Center of ellipse = (-2,-3)

Vertices are (-2,3)  and (-2,-9)

Co vertices are (-6,-3) and (2,-3)

The distance between center and vertices = 6, so a= 6

The distance between center and covertices = 4 , so b= 4

The general equation of vertical ellipse is

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

(h,k) is the center

we know center is (-2,-3)

h= -2, k = -3 , a= 6  and b = 4

The standard equation  becomes

\frac{(x+2)^2}{4^2} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{6^2}=1

\frac{(x+2)^2}{16} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{36}=1

Foci  are (h,k+c)  and (h,k-c)

c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2}

Plug in the a=6  and b=4

c=\sqrt{6^2-4^2}

 c=\sqrt{20}

  c=2\sqrt{5}, we know h=-2  and k=-3

Foci  are   (-2,-3+2\sqrt{5})  and  (-2,-3-2\sqrt{5})

Option A is correct

True or False!!!! The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is twice the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
lozanna [386]

answer : False

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one - half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

The diagram is attached below

AB  and BC are the two tangents

By exterior angle theorem

 ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4

So   ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

Now we find angle 3  and 4, we know when a chord and tangent intersect at a point then the measure of angle is one half of measure of intercepted arc

∠3 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)

∠4 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

 ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

 ∠2 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)  -  \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

∠2 = \frac{1}{2} ( arc(ADC) - arc(AC))

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

What is the significance of a dashed and solid line on an inequality function?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Inequalities that use < or > symbols are plotted with a dashed line to show that the line is not included in the region. Inequalities that use ≤ or ≥ symbols are plotted with a solid line to show that the line is included in the region.
