Answer:
BC ≈ 8.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle , that is
BC² = AB² + AC² = 7.3² + 4.6² = 53.29 + 21.16 = 74.45 ( square root both sides )
BC = ≈ 8.6 ( to 1 dec. place )

The equation of the hyperbola with directrices at x = ±2 and foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0) is
The given parameters are:
- Directrices at x = ±2
- Foci at (5, 0) and (−5, 0)
The foci of a hyperbola are represented as:
Foci = (k ± c, h)
The center is:
Center = (h,k)
And the directrix is:
Directrix, x = h ± a²/c
By comparison, we have:
k ± c = ±5
h = 0
h ± a²/c = ±2
Substitute h = 0 in h ± a²/c = ±2
0 ± a²/c = ±2
This gives
a²/c = 2
Multiply both sides by c
a² = 2c
k ± c = ±5 means that:
k ± c = 0 ± 5
By comparison, we have:
k = 0 and c = 5
Substitute c = 5 in a² = 2c
a² = 2 * 5
a² = 10
Next, we calculate b using:
b² = c² - a²
This gives
b² = 5² - 10
Evaluate
b² = 15
The hyperbola is represented as:
So, we have:
Evaluate
Hence, the equation of the hyperbola is

The usual methods of solving a system of equations involve <em>elimination</em> or <em>substitution</em>.
There is another method that is relatively easy to use. It is a variation of "Cramer's Rule" and is fully equivalent to <em>elimination</em>. It makes use of a formula applied to the equation coefficients. The pattern of coefficients in the formula, and the formula itself are shown in the third attachment. I like this when the coefficient numbers are "too messy" for elimination or substitution to be used easily. It makes use of the equations in standard form.

<em>Note on Cramer's Rule</em>
The equation you will see for Cramer's Rule applied to a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns will have the terms in numerator and denominator swapped: ec-bf, for example, instead of bf-ec. This effectively multiplies both numerator and denominator by -1, so has no effect on the result.
The reason for writing the formula in the fashion shown here is that it makes the pattern of multiplications and subtractions easier to remember. Often, you can do the math in your head. This is the method taught by "Vedic maths" and/or "Singapore math." Those teaching methods tend to place more emphasis on mental arithmetic than we do in the US.
