Answer:
x = -3/2 = -1.500
x = 7/3 = 2.333
Step-by-step explanation:
When shrinking an image, the size of each side is shrunk by the scale factor. However the area is not shrunk by the same factor. Area is a squared measurement (when finding the area of a rectangle we take length x width; two measurements, so a squared answer), so the area will be shrunk by the scale factor squared; in this case the area is shrunk by 3² or 9. This means the new area would be 720/9 or 80 square inches.
The given equation is

From the given equation,
a = 40
b = 96
(h,k) = (0,0), the center
The vertices are at (0,96) and at (0, -96).
The curves open upward and downward.
c² = a² + b² = 40² + 96² = 10816
c = 104
Therefore the foci are at (0, -104) and (0, 104).
Check the given answers:
1. a focus at (104, 0) is INCORRECT
2. a focus at (0, -96) is INCORRECT
3. a vertex at (-40, 0) is INCORRECT
4. a vertex at (0, 96) is CORRECT
5. the center at (0, 0) is CORRECT
That would be 1/5. Hope this helps!
Answer:
a)
, b) $101
Step-by-step explanation:
Hermes: 8 envelopes, $218
Apollo: 5 envelopes, $521
If x is the amount in each envelope, H is the amount Hemes has and A is the amount Apollo has, this would be a possible system of equations.

If Apollo and Hermes both had the same amount of total money, A and H could equal y

We want to find the amount in each envelope (x), so we can substitute y in the first equation for y in the second equation:

Subtract
from both sides

Subtract 218 from both sides

Divide both sides by 3

So there would have to be $101 in both envelopes for Apollo and Hermes to have the same amount of total money.
