Answer:

49

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum means add

-9+n

Multiply this by 1/2

1/2(-9+n)

This is equal to 20

1/2(-9+n) = 20

Solve

Multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the fraction

2*1/2(-9+n) = 20*2

-9+n = 40

Add 9 to each side

-9+9 +n = 40+9

n = 49

the eccentricity of a hyperbola is defined as e=c/a. find an equation with vertices (1,-3) and (-3,-3) and e=5/2
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If (α, β) are the coordinates of the center of the hyperbola, then its equation of the hyperbola is \frac{(x - \alpha )^{2} }{a^{2} } - \frac{(y - \beta )^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1.

Now, the vertices of the hyperbola are given by (α ± a, β) ≡ (1,-3) and (-3,-3)

Hence, β = - 3 and α + a = 1 and α - a = -3

Now, solving those two equations of α and a we get,  

2α = - 2, ⇒ α = -1 and

a = 1 - α = 2.

Now, eccentricity of the hyperbola is given by b^{2} = a^{2}(e^{2}  - 1) = 4[(\frac{5}{2} )^{2} -1] = 21 {Since e = \frac{5}{2} given}

Therefore, the equation of the given hyperbola will be  

\frac{(x + 1 )^{2} }{4} - \frac{(y + 3 )^{2} }{21} = 1. (Answer)

Answer: x= 2.5, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>I'm going to assume that these photocopies are proportional in relations to each other.</em></u>

If they're proportional, you can set up two proportions:

1) \frac{x}{5} =\frac{3}{6} \\\\2) \frac{5}{y} =\frac{3}{6}

And cross-multiply:

1) 6x = 5*3 \\\\2) 3y = 5*6

Then solved for x and y:

1) 6x = 15\\x=\frac{15}{6} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5 \\\\2) 3y = 30\\y=\frac{30}{3} =10
