<span>The place value positions to either side of a number are related because they are 10 times smaller or ten times bigger — a number in the hundreds column in ten times bigger than the same number in the tens column, for example.</span>
Put the values of the variables in place of the variables in the expression, then do the arithmetic.
Answer:
Venus fly trap = 12
Bonsai tree = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Venus fly trap = $3per plant
Bonsai tree = $5 per plant
Number of plants sold = 29
Total cost of plant sold = $121
Let venus fly trap = x ; bonsai tree =y
x + y = 29 ___ (1)
3x + 5y = 121 ____(2)
From (1) :
x = 29 - y
In (2):
3(29 - y) + 5y = 121
87 - 3y + 5y = 121
87 + 2y = 121
2y = 121 - 87
2y = 34
y = 34/2
y = 17
x = 29 - 17
x = 12
Hence,
Venus fly trap = 12
Bonsai tree = 17
The general form of the equation we need to find is (x - h)^2 = 4p(y- k).
The center is the distance between the directrix and focus.
So, center (h, k) = (3, 3/2) .
P = distance from center to the focus and it just so happens to be 1.5.
We now plug everything into the formula given above.
(x - 3)^2 = 4(1.5)(y - 3/2)
(x - 3)^2 = 6(y - 3/2)
Done!
