Mary went up the Old Tower taking 3 steps per second. Then she carefully came down from the tower taking 2 steps per second. It

Inessa [10]

Answer:

old town has 150 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of steps in the old tower be m

Mathematically, time = distance/speed

In this case, the distance is the number of steps while the speed is the rate of climbing or descending

For climbing, time spent = m/3

For descending time spent = m/2

Since it took her 25 longer when descending;

This means that;

m/2 - m/3 = 25

(3m-2m)/6 = 25

m/6 = 25

m = 6 * 25

m = 150 steps

Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. What is the value of y? {3x+2y=12{5x−y=7 A) y = -3B) y = 3C) y = -2

Vlad [161]

<em>Answer</em>

B) y = 3

<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>

Given the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y=12\text{ \lparen eq. 1\rparen} \\ 5x-y=7\text{ \lparen eq. 2\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Isolating x from equation 1:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2y-2y=12-2y \\ 3x=12-2y \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12-2y}{3} \\ x=\frac{12}{3}-\frac{2}{3}y \\ x=4-\frac{2}{3}y\text{ \lparen eq. 3\rparen} \end{gathered}$

Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:

$\begin{gathered} 5(4-\frac{2}{3}y)-y=7 \\ 5\cdot4-5\cdot\frac{2}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{10}{3}y-y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y=7 \\ 20-\frac{13}{3}y-20=7-20 \\ -\frac{13}{3}y=-13 \\ (-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-\frac{13}{3}y=(-\frac{3}{13})\cdot-13 \\ y=3 \end{gathered}$

Write the equation of the ellipse with foci at (-2,2) and (4,2) and major axis of length 10 *

Luda [366]

Answer:

The answer to your question is $\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Foci (-2, 2) (4, 2)

Major axis = 10

Process

1.- Plot the foci to determine if the ellipse is vertical or horizontal. See the picture below.

From the graph we conclude that it is a horizontal ellipse.

2.- Determine the foci axis (distance between the foci)

2c = 6

c = 6/2

c = 3

3.- Determine a

2a = 10

a = 10/2

a = 5

4.- Determine b using the Pythagorean theorem

a² = b² + c²

-Solve for b

b² = a² - c²

b² = 5² - 3²

b² = 25 - 9

b² = 16

b = 4

5.- Find the center (1, 2) From the graph, it is in the middle of the foci

6.- Find the equation of the ellipse

$\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{5^{2}} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{4^{2}} = 1$

$\frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1$
