Answer:

The product is 8.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> one number

y ----> the other number

I assume x>y

x-y=4 ----> equation A

x+y=-7 ---> equation B

Solve the system by elimination

Adds equation A and equation B

x-y=4

x+y=-7

-----------

2x=-3

x=-1.5

Find the value of y

x-y=4

-1.5-y=4

y=-1.5-4=-5.5

The numbers are -1.5 and -5.5

Find their product

(-1.5)(-5.5)=8.25

Ahat [919]

Answer:

$2250

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much more Jayden will get each month by doing 2.5% of 5000, or multiplying 0.025 * 5000 = $125 per month.

Then, since Jayden is leaving it there for 18 months, you can do 125 * 18 = 2250.

The interest he will earn is $2250

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle can be the expanded form of

\large \text{$(x-a)^2+(y-b)^2=r^2$}(x−a)

+(y−b)

where rr is the radius of the circle, (a,\ b)(a, b) is the center of the circle, and (x,\ y)(x, y) is a point on the circle.

Here, the equation of the circle is,

\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}&x^2+y^2+10x-4y-20&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4-49&=&\ \ 0\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+y^2+10x-4y+25+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &x^2+10x+25+y^2-4y+4&=&\ \ 49\\ \\ \Longrightarrow\ \ &(x+5)^2+(y-2)^2&=&\ \ 7^2\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

⟹

+10x−4y−20

+10x−4y+25+4−49

+10x−4y+25+4

+10x+25+y

−4y+4

(x+5)

+(y−2)

From this, we get two things:

\begin{gathered}\begin{aligned}1.&\ \ \textsf{Center of the circle is $(-5,\ 2)$.}\\ \\ 2.&\ \ \textsf{Radius of the circle is $\bold{7}$ units. }\end{aligned}\end{gathered}

Center of the circle is (−5, 2).

Radius of the circle is 7 units.

Hence the radius is 7 units.

Answer:

C. 9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84

Step-by-step explanation:

If each team member raises x dollars, the 9 team members will have raised 9x dollars. That amount added to the amount they already have must equal or exceed the amount required:

9x + 224.36 ≥ 759.84 . . . . matches selection C

The planets in our solar system do not travel in circular paths. Rather, their orbits are elliptical. The Sun is located at a fo

qwelly [4]

1. The distance between the perihelion and the aphelion is 116 million miles

2. The distance from the center of Mercury’s elliptical orbit and the Sun is 12 million miles

3. The equation of the elliptical orbit of Mercury is $\frac{x^{2}}{3364}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3220}=1$

4. The eccentricity of the ellipse is 0.207 to the nearest thousandth

5. The value of the eccentricity tell you that the shape of the ellipse is near to the shape of the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the equation of the ellipse is

$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$ , where the major axis is parallel to the x-axis

The length of the major axis is 2a
The coordinates of the vertices are (± a , 0)
The coordinates of the foci are (± c , 0) , where c² = a² - b²

∵ The Sun is located at a focus of the ellipse

∴ The sun located ate c

∵ The perihelion is the point in a planet’s orbit that is closest to the

Sun ( it is the endpoint of the major axis that is closest to the Sun )

∴ The perihelion is located at the vertex (a , 0)

∵ The closest Mercury comes to the Sun is about 46 million miles

∴ The distance between a and c is 46 million miles

∵ The aphelion is the point in the planet’s orbit that is furthest from

the Sun ( it is the endpoint of the major axis that is furthest from

the Sun )

∴ The aphelion is located at the vertex (-a , 0)

∵ The farthest Mercury travels from the Sun is about 70 million miles

∴ The distance from -a to c is 70 million miles

∴ The distance between the perihelion and the aphelion =

70 + 46 = 116 million miles

1. The distance between the perihelion and the aphelion is 116 million miles

∵ The distance between the perihelion and the aphelion is the

length of the major axis of the ellipse

∵ The length of the major axis is 2 a

∴ 2 a = 116

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ a = 58

∴ The distance from the center of Mercury’s elliptical orbit to the

closest end point to the sun is 58 million miles

∵ The distance between the sun and the closest endpoint is

46 million miles

∴ The distance from the center of Mercury’s elliptical orbit and

the Sun = 58 - 46 = 12 million miles

2. The distance from the center of Mercury’s elliptical orbit and the Sun is 12 million miles

∵ The major axis runs horizontally

∴ The equation is $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

∵ a = 58

∵ c is the distance from the center to the focus of the ellipse

∴ c = 12

∵ c² = a² - b²

∴ (12)² = (58)² - b²

- Add b² to both sides

∴ (12)² + b² = (58)²

- Subtract (12)² from both sides

∴ b² = (58)² - (12)² = 3220

- Substitute these values in the equation

∴ $\frac{x^{2}}{3364}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3220}=1$

3. The equation of the elliptical orbit of Mercury is $\frac{x^{2}}{3364}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3220}=1$

The eccentricity (e) of an ellipse is the ratio of the distance from the

center to the foci (c) and the distance from the center to the

vertices (a) ⇒ $e=\frac{c}{a}$

∵ c = 12

∵ a = 58

∴ $e=\frac{12}{58}$ = 0.207

4. The eccentricity of the ellipse is 0.207 to the nearest thousandth

If the eccentricity is zero, it is not squashed at all and so remains a circle.

If it is 1, it is completely squashed and looks like a line

∵ The eccentricity of the ellipse is 0.207

∵ This number is closed to zero than 1

∴ The shape of the ellipse is near to the shape of the circle

5. The value of the eccentricity tell you that the shape of the ellipse is near to the shape of the circle
