Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf 4\frac{1}{8} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf =\frac{5}{8} - (-\frac{7}{2} )\\\\Rule : ( - *- = +)\\\\\=\frac{5}{8} +\frac{7}{2} \\\\LCM = 8\\\\\=\frac{5+28}{8} \\\\\=\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}$

$\sf =\frac{5}{8}+ \frac{7}{2} \\\\=\frac{5+28}{8}$

$\sf =\frac{33}{8} \\\\=4\frac{1}{8}$

Hope this helped!

A plane intersects one nappe of a double-napped cone such that it is perpendicular to the vertical axis of the cone and it does

Colt1911 [192]

There is two possible conic section that can be formed when the plane intersects the vertical axis, a circle, and an ellipse. Cutting one nappe of double napped cone perpendicular to the vertical axis means the cut is straight across the cone making a right angle. The conic section formed would be a circle.

Find all points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) All points on the x-axis that are 14 units from the point

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer: $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

or (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x,0) be the point on x -axis that are 14 units from the point (6,-7) .

Then by distance formula , we have

$\sqrt{(x-6)^2+(0-(-7))^2}=14\ \ \ [\ \because distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}]$

Taking square on both the sides , we get

$(x-6)^2+7^2=14^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+6^2-2(6)x+49=196\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2+36-12x=147\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x=111\\\\\Rightarrow\ x^2-12x-111=0$

Using quadratic formula : $x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{(-12)^2-4(1)(-111)}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{144+444}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{588}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm\sqrt{2^2\times7^2\times3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{12\pm14\sqrt{3}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=6\pm7\sqrt{3}$

so, $(6+7\sqrt{3},0)\text{ and }(6-7\sqrt{3},0)$ are the required points.

since $\sqrt{3}=1.732$

so, $(6+7(1.732),0)\text{ and }(6-7(1.732),0)$ are the required points.

i.e. (18.124,0) and ( -6.124,0) are the required points.

What is 12.1 as a fraction in simplest form

Alex787 [66]

12 1/10
A quick way to get this one is to recognize that .1 is a decimal in the tenth place. Because of this, we know to put it over 10. Because 1/10 cannot be simplified, it is in simplest form. Now, simply return the whole number to the fraction.

A circle centered at the origin has a radius of 10 units. The terminal side of an angle, Theta, intercepts the circle in Quadran

Tanzania [10]

Since the circle is centered at the origin, we can use the equations
x² + y² = r²
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ

We know y = 8 and r = 10. Solving for x
x² + 8² = 10²
x = 6

From this equation:
x = r cos θ
6 = 10 cos θ
cos θ = 6/10 = 0.6
