Answer:

No solution (read below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

N is the term #

D is the common difference

First, let's find the common difference.

13 - (-15) = 28

Let's see if that checks out.

31-13 = 18

49 - 31 = 18

18 is not equal to 28

Since there is no common difference you cannot find the equation.

Please tell me if you made a typo and comment on my answer, then I can help you find the answer

identify the graph of 9x^2-25y^2=225 for t(0 5) and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form

tamaranim1 [39]

ANSWER

The required equation is:

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 85 0=0$

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

$9 {x}^{2} - 25 {y}^{2} = 225$

Dividing through by 225 we obtain;

$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{25} - \frac{ {y}^{2} }{9} = 1$

This is a hyperbola that has it's centre at the origin.

If this hyperbola is translated so that its center is now at (0,5).

Then its equation becomes:

$\frac{ {(x - 0)}^{2} }{25} - \frac{ {(y - 5)}^{2} }{9} = 1$

We multiply through by 225 to get;

$9 {x}^{2} - 25( {y - 5})^{2} = 225$

We now expand to get;

$9 {x}^{2} - 25( {y}^{2} - 10y + 25 )= 225$

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 6 25 = 225$

The equation of the hyperbola in general form is

$9 {x}^{2} - 25{y}^{2} + 250y - 85 0=0$

A recipe for 10 servings of raspberry sorbet calls for 2 cups of water, 1/1.2 cups of granulated sugar, and 4 cups of frozen ras

babunello [35]

We know that 16 cups are in 1 gallon
We also know that 10 servings = 2 cups

Now that means 80 servings = 1 gallon
That means we need 320 / 80=4

It is A 4 gallons
