Okay. In my opinion, all the class has to do is simplify the expressions and compare. But they want to substitute instead.
Well then.
First, let's notice that these are linear expressions, meaning that if they are equivalent then all their values match up.
Number 1 is not a good one. Just because they're both positive doesn't mean anything; they have to be <em>the same.</em>
This also eliminates 3.
Number 2 is a good one, but it's not as reliable. If, for instance, the two expressions are <em>not </em>equivalent and you get lucky enough to pick that one value they intersect at (or have in common), then you'd be wrong when you say they are equivalent.
Number 4 makes the most sense because if both expressions are equivalent, then every value matches up. If not, then only one will. So having two values to substitute will most definitely answer the class question.
Hope this helps, let me know if I messed up! ;)
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.
I belive it would be 12x + 12y
