The answer is 40.

40 - 24 = 16
16 * 0.25 = 4

Let the number is x

1/4(x-24) = 4
x - 24 = 4*4 = 16
x = 16+24
x = 40

number is 40

Find x. Assume that segments that appear tangent are tangent.

kipiarov [429]

Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:

20^2=12^2+x^2

400=144+x^2

x^2=400-144

x^2=256

x=16

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

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