A designer wants to create a whisper chamber in the shape of an ellipse. He has a warehouse space with a longest length of 50 ya

rds, which he decides will be the major axis of his elliptical chamber. He determines the best spots for his guests to stand to experience his whisper chamber will be 10 yards from the center of the warehouse space, which will act as the foci. How far out from the center, along the minor axis should he build out his whisper chamber?
53.9 yd

45.8 yd

26.9 yd

Answer:

22.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b² = a² - c² where a = vertex of major axis, 2a = 50 yards the length of the major axis. So , a = 50/2 = 25 yards. c = focus of chamber = 10 yards from center and b = vertex of minor axis.

So, b = ±√(a² - c²)

= ±√(25² - 10²)

= ±√(625 - 100)

= ±√525

= ±22.91 yards

≅ ± 22.9 yards

Since b = length of minor axis from center of chamber = 22.91 yards. So, he should build the whisper chamber 22.9 yards out from the center of the chamber.

1. Contaminated water is subjected to a cleaning process. The concentration of the
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The concentration of pollutants in the water can be defined as the quotient between the mass of pollutants and the total mass of water.

Assuming that 1L of water weighs 1000 grams, we know that:

Mass of pollutants = 5mg = 0.005g.

Initial concentration = 0.005g/1000g = 0.000005

If we multiply this by 100%, we get the percentage:

0.000005*100% = 0.0005%

Now, the mass of pollutants decreases by 10% each hour.

So if initially, we have 5mg

After one hour, we will have: 5mg - 0.1*5mg = 5mg*(0.9).

After another hour, we will have: 5mg*(0.9) - 0.1*5mg*0.9 = 5mg*(0.9)^2.

And so on, then after n hours, the mass of pollutants will be:

M(n) = 5mg*(0.9)^n

Or we can write this in grams as:

M(n) = 0.005g*(0.9)^n

Then the concentration as a function of time in hours will be:

C(n) = M(n)/1000g = (0.005g/1000g)*(0.9)^n

Notice that the thing between the parentheses is the initial concentration, then if we write this in percentage form:

c(n) = 100%*(0.005g/1000g)*(0.9)^n = 0.0005%*(0.9)

The function that represents the concentration of polution in the water as a function of hours is:

c(n) = 0.0005%*(0.9)

Division of two quantities is expressed as the ____ of those two quantities.
andreev551 [17]


Division of two quantities is expressed as the  quotient of those two quantities.

The word quotient is derived from the Latin language. It is from the Latin word "quotiens" which means "how many times." A quotient  is the answer to a divisional problem. A divisional problem describes how many times a number will go into another. The first time that this word was known to have been used in mathematics was around 1400 - 1500 AD in England.

There are two different ways to find the quotient of two numbers.  One of them is through Fractions. The quotient of a fraction is the number obtained when the fraction is simplified. The other way to find a quotient is  by employing the long division method where the quotient  value is positioned above the divisor and dividend.
