What are vertices of the conic 16x² - 25y² = 400 ?

Answer:

(-5, 0) and (5, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation fits the form for a hyperbola with x-intercepts.  The standard form for such an equation is

\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1

To get the equation in the question into this standard form, divide each term by 400.

\frac{16x^2}{400}-\frac{25y^2}{400}=\frac{400}{400}\\\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{16}=1

To find the x-intercepts, make <em>y</em> = 0.

\frac{x^2}{25}=1\\x^2=25\\x=\pm 5

The vertices are located at the points (-5, 0) and (5, 0).

<em>Note: </em>There are no <em>y</em>-intercepts; making <em>x</em> = 0 produces no real solutions for <em>y</em>.

Answer:

25 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

all the other answers seem to be less than 200. 20(10) is 200, but it says more than 200 pages. so that means the only correct answer is 25 pages per day. 25(10) is 250 pages, exceeding 200.
