Mathematics

From a reliable source, the ratio between the width and the length of the tennis court is equal to 5:12. We let x be the common factor of the given ratio such that the width is equal to 5x and the length is equal to 12x. 

The perimeter of the figure is calculated through the equation,
              P = 2L + 2W
where P is the perimeter, L is the length, and W is the width. 

Substituting the derived expressions to the equation above.

             228 = (2)(12x) + 2(5x)
                x = 114/17
The width and length are calculated below.
     Width = (5)(114/17) = 570/17 ft = 33.53 ft
     Length = (12)(114/17) = 1368/17 ft = 80.47 ft

Thus, the dimensions are approximately 33.53 ft and 80.47 ft.

X+y=5<br> 2x - y = 1<br><br> Need help
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

y = 3

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=5  ==   -2x - 2y = -10

2x-y = 1 ==  2x - y = 1    +

                  -------------------

                  -3y = -9

                  <u>y = 3</u>

x + y = 5

x + 3 = 5

<u>x = 2</u>

Veronika [31]
Jocelyn makes more than $195 but not over $645. The amount she has to pay is 15% of the excess of 196. Find this first via subtraction.

421 - 195 = $226 over 

Take 15% of this

226 x .15 = $33.9

The tax also includes a $14.4 addition to this 15%.

33.9 + 14.4 = $48.3 total income tax

Match the hyperbolas represented by the equations to their foci.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

1) (1 , -22) and (1 , 12) ⇔ (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

2) (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5) ⇔ (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

3) (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2) ⇔ (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

4) (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16) ⇔ (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the equation of the hyperbola

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the x-axis is

  (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h ± c , k), where c² = a² + b²

- The standard form of the equation of a hyperbola with

  center (h , k) and transverse axis parallel to the y-axis is

  (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

- the coordinates of the foci are (h , k ± c), where c² = a² + b²

* Lets look to the problem

1) The foci are (1 , -22) and (1 , 12)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ h = 1 and k ± c = -22 ,12

∴ The form of the equation will be (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ k + c = -22 ⇒ (1)

∵ k - c = 12 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2k = -10 ⇒ ÷2

∴ k = -5

* substitute the value of k in (1)

∴ -5 + c = -22 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = -17

∴ c² = (-17)² = 289

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 289

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (1 , -5)

  and a² + b² = 289 in the form (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ 15² + 8² = 289

∵ (h , k) = (1 , -5)

∴ The answer is (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

* (1 , -22) and (1 , 12) ⇔ (y + 5)²/15² - (x - 1)²/8² = 1

2) The foci are (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ k = 5 and h ± c = -7 ,3

∴ The form of the equation will be (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ h + c = -7 ⇒ (1)

∵ h - c = 3 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2h = -4 ⇒ ÷2

∴ h = -2

* substitute the value of h in (1)

∴ -2 + c = -7 ⇒ add 2 to both sides

∴ c = -5

∴ c² = (-5)² = 25

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 25

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (-2 , 5)

  and a² + b² = 25 in the form (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ 3² + 4² = 25

∵ (h , k) = (-2 , 5)

∴ The answer is (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

* (-7 , 5) and (3 , 5) ⇔ (x + 2)²/3² - (y - 5)²/4² = 1

3) The foci are (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ k = -2 and h ± c = -6 ,14

∴ The form of the equation will be (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ h + c = -6 ⇒ (1)

∵ h - c = 14 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2h = 8 ⇒ ÷2

∴ h = 4

* substitute the value of h in (1)

∴ 4 + c = -6 ⇒ subtract 4 from both sides

∴ c = -10

∴ c² = (-10)² = 100

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 100

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (4 , -2)

  and a² + b² = 100 in the form (x - h)²/a² - (y - k)²/b² = 1

∵ 8² + 6² = 100

∵ (h , k) = (4 , -2)

∴ The answer is (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

* (-6 , -2) and (14 , -2) ⇔ (x - 4)²/8² - (y + 2)²/6² = 1

4) The foci are (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16)

- Compare the point with the previous rules

∵ h = -7 and k ± c = -10 , 16

∴ The form of the equation will be (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ k + c = -10 ⇒ (1)

∵ k - c = 16 ⇒ (2)

* Add (1) and(2)

∴ 2k = 6 ⇒ ÷2

∴ k = 3

* substitute the value of k in (1)

∴ 3 + c = -10 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ c = -13

∴ c² = (-13)² = 169

∵ c² = a² + b²

∴ a² + b² = 169

* Now lets check which answer has (h , k) = (-7 , 3)

  and a² + b² = 169 in the form (y - k)²/a² - (x - h)²/b² = 1

∵ 5² + 12² = 169

∵ (h , k) = (-7 , 3)

∴ The answer is (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

* (-7 , -10) and (-7 , 16) ⇔ (y - 3)²/5² - (x + 7)²/12² = 1

High grade steel consists of 85% iron and 15% magnese. Low grade steel consists of 67% iron and 33% mag ese. NASA orders 500 ton
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

361\dfrac{1}{9} tons of high steel and 138\dfrac{8}{9} tons of low steel

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of tons of high grade steel and y be the number of tons ow low grade steel needed.

In x tons of high grade steel there are

0.85x tons of iron

0.15x tons of magnese

In y tons of low grade steel there are

0.67y tons of iron

0.33y tons of magnese

NASA orders 500 tons of steel, so

x+y=500

and specifies that it must be in the proportion 80% iron and 20% magnese, so

0.85x+0.67y=500\cdot 0.8\\ \\0.85x+0.67y=400

From the first equation,

x=500-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

0.85(500-y)+0.67y=400\\ \\425-0.85y+0.67y=400\\ \\-0.18y=-25\\ \\y=\dfrac{2,500}{18}=138\dfrac{8}{9}\ tons\\ \\x=361\dfrac{1}{9}\ tons
