Answer: d) 3 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the required number of hours for which the total fee charged by the companies the same.

Given: Peppy Pets charges a flat fee of $15 plus $3 per hour .

So Total charge = 15+3x ( in dollars)

Happy Hounds charges a flat fee of $21 plus $1 per hour.

So Total charge = 21+x ( in dollars)

When the total charge for both companies are the same, then

$15+3x=21+x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3x-x=21-15\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2x=6\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3$

Hence, the correct option is d) 3 hours.

Find an equation of the sphere with center (−2, 3, 7) and radius 7.What is the intersection of this sphere with the yz-plane?

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The equation of the sphere with center (-2, 3, 7) and radius 7 is $(x+2)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}+(z-7)^{2} = 49$ .

The intersection of the sphere with the yz-plane is $(y-3)^{2}+(z-7)^{2} = 49$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that any sphere can be represented by the following equation:

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}+(z-s)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where:

$h$ , $k$ , $s$ - Coordinates of the center of the sphere, dimensionless.

$r$ - Radius of the sphere, dimensionless.

If $(h,k, s) = (-2,3,7)$ and $r = 7$ , we obtain this expression:

$(x+2)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}+(z-7)^{2} = 49$

The intersection of the sphere with the yz-plane observe the following conditions:

$x = 0$ , $y \in \mathbb {R}$ , $z\in \mathbb{R}$

Hence, the expression above can be reduced into this:

$(y-3)^{2}+(z-7)^{2} = 49$

(5x^2 - 3x)(8x^2 + 4x)

timurjin [86]

For this case we have the following expression:

$(5x ^ 2-3x) (8x ^ 2 + 4x)$

To find the product, we apply distributive property that states:

$(a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$

So:

$(5x ^ 2) (8x ^ 2) + (5x ^ 2) (4x) - (3x) (8x ^ 2) - (3x) (4x) =\\40x ^ 4 + 20x ^ 3-24x ^ 3-12x ^ 2 =\\40x ^ 4-4x ^ 3-12x ^ 2$

ANswer:

$40x ^ 4-4x ^ 3-12x ^ 2$

Which statement best explains the relationship between

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The best statement which explains the relationship between lines AB and CD is "They are parallel because their slopes are equal" ⇒ A

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes and different y-intercepts

The rule of the slope of a line passes through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

In the given figure

∵ The blue line passes through points A and B

∵ A = (-4, -2) and B = (4, 4)

∴ x1 = -4 and y1 = -2

∴ x2 = 4 and y2 = 4

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope

∵ m(AB) = $\frac{4--2}{4--4}$ = $\frac{4+2}{4+4}$ = $\frac{6}{8}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ The slope of line AB is $\frac{3}{4}$

∵ The green line passes through points C and D

∵ C = (0, -3) and D = (4, 0)

∴ x1 = 0 and y1 = -3

∴ x2 = 4 and y2 = 0

→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope

∵ m(CD) = $\frac{0--3}{4-0}$ = $\frac{0+3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

∴ The slope of line CD is $\frac{3}{4}$

∵ The slope of line AB = the slope of line CD

∵ Parallel lines have the same slope

∴ AB // CD

∴ AB and CD are parallel lines

The best statement which explains the relationship between lines AB and CD is "They are parallel because their slopes are equal"
