Mathematics

madam [21]2 years ago

Answer: OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing options are:

A. (33 - x) = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\B. (\frac{1}{3} *33) - \frac{1}{3} x = \frac{1}{3} * 135.2\\\\C.(\frac{1}{3}  * 33) - \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2\\\\D. (\frac{1}{3}  * 33) + \frac{1}{3} x = 135.2

In order to solve this exercise you need to remember the following:

1. The Distributive property states that:

a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac

2. The multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

In this case the exercise gives you the following equation:

\frac{1}{3}(33-x)=135.2

Since you need to solve for the variable "x" in order to  find its value, the first  step you must apply in the in the procedure is to eliminate the parentheses applying the Distributive property.

Then, you must multiply everyting inside the parentheses by \frac{1}{3}.

Therefore,based on the explanation, you know that the correct use of the Distributive property is:

\frac{1}{3}*33-\frac{1}{3}x=135.2

Write a equation of a hyperbola given the foci and the asymptotes
professor190 [17]

Solution:

The standard equation of a hyperbola is expressed as

\begin{gathered} \frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the x-axis\rparen} \\ \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ \lparen parallel to the y-axis\rparen} \end{gathered}

Given that the hyperbola has its foci at (0,-15) and (0, 15), this implies that the hyperbola is parallel to the y-axis.

Thus, the equation will be expressed in the form:

\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}=1\text{ ----equation 1}

The asymptote of n hyperbola is expressed as

y=\pm\frac{a}{b}(x-h)+k

Given that the asymptotes are

y=\frac{3}{4}x\text{ and y=-}\frac{3}{4}x

This implies that

a=3,\text{ and b=4}

To evaluate the value of h and k,

undefined

Solve for x and justify your answer ​
Scorpion4ik [409]
The answer is 51°.

The top two lines are parallel to each other. Therefore alternate interior angles theorem applies. The bottom right corner that is underneath the line (for lack of a better description) is also 58°.

We also know that a triangle equals 180°. So 58+71= 129°.

So to find that missing angle we subtract 129 from 180 to get the 51°.

Rita bought some large packets of salt weighing 500grams each and some small packets of salt weighing 200 grams each. If she has
Rama09 [41]
L+S=8, L=8-S

500L+200S=2200, using L from above in this equation gives you:

500(8-S)+200S=2200

4000-500S+200S=2200

4000-300S=2200

-300S=-1800

S=6, and since L=8-S:

L=2

So Rita bought 2 large packets and 6 small packets.
