Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

• $log_{b}$ x = n ⇔ x = $b^{n}$

let $log_{8}$ 64 = n, then

64 = $8^{n}$

note that 64 = 8², thus

8² = $8^{n}$ ⇒ n = 2

Airida [17]

If you are finding the perimeter the answer would be:
$15.50
If you do 9*$1.75=$15.75
If you do 10*$1.75=17.50
When you find perimeter it’s length+length+ width+ width
This gives you $15.50
If you are finding the area the answer would be:
$157.50
To find area you do 10*9=90
Then, you do 90*$1.75=$157.50

Write the equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with x-intercepts +/- 4 and foci of +/-2(sqrt5)

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{16}-\frac{b^2}{4}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbola is the locus of a point such that its distance from a point to two points (known as foci) is a positive constant.

The standard equation of a hyperbola centered at the origin with transverse on the x axis is given as:

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

The coordinates of the foci is at (±c, 0), where c² = a² + b²

Given that a hyperbola centered at the origin with x-intercepts +/- 4 and foci of +/-2√5. Since the x intercept is ±4, this means that at y = 0, x = 4. Substituting in the standard equation:

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\frac{4^2}{a^2}-\frac{0}{b^2} =1\\\frac{4^2}{a^2}=1\\ a^2=16\\a=\sqrt{16}=4\\ a=4$
