Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given three points J, C and T on a line, if J is between C and T then;

CJ + JT = CT.

Given CJ=8x+5, CT=55, and JT=4x+2, substituting this parameters in the equation above will give;

$(8x+5)+(4x+2)= 55\\8x+4x+5+2 = 55\\12x+7 = 55\\12x = 55-7\\12x = 48\\ x = \frac{48}{12} \\x = 4$

SInce JT = 4x+2

$JT = 4(4)+2\\JT = 16+2\\JT = 18$

Identify the graph of 3x^2+y^2=9 for T(-1,3) and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.

Archy [21]

ANSWER

D. Ellipse;

$3{x}^{2} +{y}^{2} + 6x - 6y + 3= 0$

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

$3 {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} = 9$

Dividing through by 9 gives

$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ 3} + \frac{ {y}^{2} }{9} = 1$

This is the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin.

If this ellipse has been translated, so that its center is now at (-1,3), then the equation of the translated ellipse becomes

$\frac{ {(x + 1) }^{2} }{ 3} + \frac{ {(y - 3)}^{2} }{9} = 1$

We multiply through by 9 to get,

$3 {(x + 1)}^{2} + {(y - 3)}^{2} = 9$

Expand to obtain;

$3( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1) + {y}^{2} - 6y + 9 = 9$

Expand to obtain;

$3{x}^{2} + 6x + 3+ {y}^{2} - 6y + 9 = 9$

Regroup and equate to zero to obtain;

$3{x}^{2} +{y}^{2} + 6x - 6y + 3= 0$

It is 42 1/2 miles from Eaton to Baxter, and 37 4/5 miles from Baxter to Wellington. How far is it from Eaton to Wellington, if

IgorC [24]

$42 \frac{1}{2} + 37 \frac{4}{5}$

$42 \frac{5}{10} + 37 \frac{8}{10}$

$\frac{5}{10} + \frac{8}{10} = \frac{13}{10} = 1 \frac{3}{10}$

$79 + 1 \frac{3}{10} = 80 \frac{3}{10}$

$80 \frac{3}{10} \: \:miles \: or \: 80.3 \: miles$

The correct answer is: Commutative Property

Further Explanation:

The commutative property states that the order of number doesn't matter and changing the order of numbers or variables will produce the same result.

<u>Commutative Property of Addition:</u>

The Commutative Property of addition means that an expression can be written as a + b = b + a.

<u>Commutative Property of Multiplication:</u>

The Commutative Property of multiplication means that an expression can be written as a • b = b • a

Hence, the correct answer is: Commutative Property
