Answer:

Can give you the example then you have to figure out.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are assuming the center of the tower is at the origin, so we can use the standard form of a horizontal hyperbola centered at the origin: \displaystyle \frac{{x}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}-\frac{{y}^{2}}{{b}^{2}}=1

​a

​x

​b

​y

​​ =1, where the branches of the hyperbola form the sides of the cooling tower. We must find the values of \displaystyle {a}^{2}a

​2

​​  and \displaystyle {b}^{2}b

​2

​​  to complete the model.

First, we find \displaystyle {a}^{2}a

​2

​​ . Recall that the length of the transverse axis of a hyperbola is \displaystyle 2a2a. This length is represented by the distance where the sides are closest, which is given as \displaystyle \text{ }65.3\text{ } 65.3  meters. So, \displaystyle 2a=602a=60. Therefore, \displaystyle a=30a=30 and \displaystyle {a}^{2}=900a

​2

​​ =900.

To solve for \displaystyle {b}^{2}b

​2

​​ , we need to substitute for \displaystyle xx and \displaystyle yy in our equation using a known point. To do this, we can use the dimensions of the tower to find some point \displaystyle \left(x,y\right)(x,y) that lies on the hyperbola. We will use the top right corner of the tower to represent that point. Since the y-axis bisects the tower, our x-value can be represented by the radius of the top, or 36 meters. The y-value is represented by the distance from the origin to the top, which is given as 79.6 meters. Therefore,

The sides of the tower can be modeled by the hyperbolic equation

\displaystyle \frac{{x}^{2}}{900}-\frac{{y}^{2}}{14400.3636 }=1,\text{or}\frac{{x}^{2}}{{30}^{2}}-\frac{{y}^{2}}{{120.0015}^{2} }=1

You should multiply by 4 before adding 16 to solve the inequality 11 &gt;<br>16​
joja [24]

Answer:

11 >  - 16

False, you should add 16 first to make the equation easier. If you multiplied by 4, you would have to multiply everything by 4, whereas by adding 16 first you only have to solve 27 · 4 to get a.

Find the value of x 11x-15 and 5x-13
Vinvika [58]

11x -15 = 5x-13

or, 11x-5x = -13+15

or, 6x = 2

or, x = 2/6 = 1/3

Answer is 1/3

Explain how mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25 Find the tip using that method. Halp
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

$3.4875

Step-by-step explanation:

AS the ride is completed and according the rule the person have to give a tip on the total taxi ride

according to the given

tip given 15%

Total ride cost = $23.25

To find is the total tip given in dollars

Solution:

Total tip in dollars = 15 % of total ride cost

Putting the values of the given

Total tip in dollars = 15 % of 23.25

it can be written as

                             = \frac{15*23.25}{100}

                              =\frac{348.75}{100}

                               =$ 3.4875

So the total tip would be $3.4875
