A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated
zysi [14]
Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)

Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III

Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II

To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.

Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9

We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3

Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5

Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).

Hope this helps :)

Thirty elves would like to build a skating ring so they can all use it at the same time. Santa tells them, they need at least 40
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The Possible dimension of the ring could be;

20 ft × 60 ft

25 ft × 48 ft

30 ft × 40 ft

60 ft × 20 ft

48 ft × 25 ft

40 ft × 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of skaters = 30

Area for each skater = 40 sq ft

We need to find the dimension of rectangular ring the are going to build.

Now we know that they building the skating ring such that they all can use at same time.

Hence if the all use at same time then we will find the total area first.

Total area can be calculated by multiplying Number of skaters with area required for each skaters.

Framing the equation we get;

Total area = 30\times 40 = 1200 \ ft^2

Hence The total area of the rectangular ring would be 1200 sq. ft.

Now we know that Total area is equal to product of length and width.

length\times width =1200ft^2

1200 can be written as = 20 × 60, 25 × 48, 30 × 40,60 × 20,48 × 25,40 × 30

Hence the Possible dimension of the ring could be;

20 ft × 60 ft

25 ft × 48 ft

30 ft × 40 ft

60 ft × 20 ft

48 ft × 25 ft

40 ft × 30 ft

Please answer this correctly
sesenic [268]

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

The sorted data set is ...

  1 2 3 3 5 7 8 9

The median is the average of the middle two numbers: (3+5)/2 = 4.

Replacing one of the 3s with a 1 makes the data set be ...

  1 1 2 3 5 7 8 9

The average of the middle two numbers is (3+5)/2 = 4.

The median increases by 4 - 4 = 0.
