Answer: 3\dfrac{11}{20}\ \text{miles}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Elisa run a total of 8\frac{4}{5} miles on Saturday and Sunday.

If she runs 5\frac{1}{4} miles on Saturday

Then, distance traveled on Sunday is given by

\Rightarrow 8\dfrac{4}{5}-5\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{44}{5}-\dfrac{21}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{44\times 4}{5\times 4}-\dfrac{21\times 5}{4\times 5}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{71}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow 3\dfrac{11}{20}\ \text{miles}

Equation for a parabola with a focus of (2, -2) and a directrix of y=-8
Fantom [35]

Answer:

y=1/8(-x^2+4x+44

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question the given focus is (2,4) and a directrix of y = 8 and we have to derive the equation of the parabola.

Let (x,y) is a point on the given parabola.Then the distance between the point (x,y) to (2,4) and the distance from (x,y) to diractrix will be same.

Distance between (x,y) and (2,4)

= √(x-2)²+(y-4)²

And the distance between (x,y) and directrix y=8

= (y-8)

Now √(x-2)²+(y-4)² = (y-8)

(x-2)²+(y-4)² = (y-8)²

x²+4-4x+y²+16-8y = y²+64-16y

x²+20+y²-4x-8y = y²-16y+64

x²+20-4x-8y+16y-64=0

x²+8y-4x-44 = 0

8y = -x²+4x+44

Randall wants to mix 50 lb of nuts worth $2 per lb with some nuts worth $7 per lb to make a mixture worth $6 per lb. How many po
defon

A = nuts of $2/lb

B = nuts of $7/lb


let's say we'll mix "x" lbs of B to get a mixture with A of "y" lbs, therefore


\bf \begin{array}{lcccl} &\stackrel{lbs}{quantity}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{per~lb}&\stackrel{\textit{cost}}{total}\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ A~ nuts&50&2&100\\ B~nuts&x&7&7x\\ \cline{2-4}&\\ mixture&y&6&6y \end{array} \\\\\\ \begin{cases} 50+x=\boxed{y}\\ 100+7x=6y \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \implies 100+7x=6\left( \boxed{50+x} \right) \\\\\\ 100+7x=300+6x\implies \blacktriangleright x=200 \blacktriangleleft

Given mſn, find the value of x.<br> (6x-7)º<br> m<br> (4x-10°
Pavel [41]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

These angles are actually equal to each other

This is because when two lines intersect, the two opposite angles are the same.

Since they are the same, you can set them equal to each other

Like so:

6x - 7 = 4x - 1

Then solve:

6x - 7 = 4x - 1

6x = 4x +6

2x = 6

x = 3
