A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated

and the ship is found to lie on a hyperbolic path described by y2 - 2x2 = 7. if it is known that the ship is located in the first quadrant of the coordinate system, determine its exact location.

Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)

Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III

Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II

To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.

Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9

We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3

Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5

Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).

Hope this helps :)

Which is a y-intercept of the graphed function​
AfilCa [17]

Well, a y-intercept is a the point on a graph where the x value equals 0, because the point sits exactly on the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept would be (0, -9).

The patio shown has an area of 116 square feet. What is the value of h?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

if we made this into a rectangle (pretend you chop off one of the triangles and glue it to the other one to make a long rectangle), the length would be 10+4.5, or 14.5. to find what h is, we can just divide 116 by 14.5. our answer is 8.

Isaac invested $460 in an account paying an interest rate of 2.4% compounded daily. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

t =17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for interest

A = P(1+ r/n)^ nt

where a is the amount in the account , p is the principal, r is the rate, n is the number of times compounded per year and t is the time in years

Substituting in what we know

690 = 460 ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t

690/460 = ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t

1.5 = ( 1+ .024/365)^ 365t

Taking the log of each side

log(1.5) = 365t log( 1+ .024/365))

Dividing each side by( 1+ .024/365)

log(1.5)/ log( 1+ .024/365) = 365t

divide each side by 365

1/365 log(1.5)/ log( 1+ .024/365)  =t

t =16.8949

To the nearest year

t =17
