Answer:

1210 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the old farmland be x acres

new farmland = 968 acres

therefore

let us find 20% of the old farmland

=20/100x

=0.2x

Hence

968+0.2x=x

collect like terms

968=x-0.2x

968=0.8x

x= 968/0.8

x=1210 acres

MAXImum [283]

Using the hypothesis test for one sample mean, There is NO SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE to support the typist's claim

H_{0} = 45\\H_{1} < 45\\\\

The test statistic :

T = (x - μ) ÷ (s/√(n))

T = (43 - 45) ÷ (15/√70)

T = - 2 ÷ 1.7928429

T = -1.1155

At α = 0.05

Pvalue :

Degree of freedom, df = 70 - 1 = 69

Pvalue = 0.134

Decison region :

Reject H_{0} if Pvalue < α

Since Pvalue > α We fail to reject the Null

40% means "40 out of 100"

    40 ÷ 100 = 0.40

So, 40% = 0.40 as a decimal

Write and equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form (picture below)
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The answer is hyperbola; (x')² - (y')² - 16 = 0 ⇒ answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

* At first lets talk about the general form of the conic equation

- Ax² + Bxy + Cy²  + Dx + Ey + F = 0

∵ B² - 4AC < 0 , if a conic exists, it will be either a circle or an ellipse.

∵ B² - 4AC = 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a parabola.

∵ B² - 4AC > 0 , if a conic exists, it will be a hyperbola.

* Now we will study our equation:

 xy = -8

∵ A = 0 , B = 1 , C = 0

∴ B² - 4 AC = (1)² - 4(0)(0) = 1 > 0

∴ B² - 4AC > 0

∴ The graph is hyperbola

* The equation xy = -8

∵ We have term xy that means we rotated the graph about

  the origin by angle Ф

∵ Ф = π/4

∴ We rotated the x-axis and the y-axis by angle π/4

* That means the point (x' , y') it was point (x , y)

- Where x' = xcosФ - ysinФ and y' = xsinФ + ycosФ

∴ x' = xcos(π/4) - ysin(π/4) , y' = xsin(π/4) + ycos(π/4)

∴ x' = x/√2 - y/√2 = (x - y)/√2

∴ y' = x/√2 + y/√2 = (x + y)/√2

* Lets substitute x' and y' in the 1st answer

∵ (x')² - (y')² - 16 = 0

∴ (\frac{x-y}{\sqrt{2}})^{2}-(\frac{x+y}{\sqrt{2}})^{2}=

 ( \frac{x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}}{2})-(\frac{x^{2}+2xy+y^{2}}{2})-16=0

* Lets open the bracket

∴ \frac{x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}-x^{2}-2xy-y^{2}}{2}-16=0

* Lets add the like terms

∴ \frac{-4xy}{2}-16=0

* Simplify the fraction

∴ -2xy - 16 = 0

* Divide the equation by -2

∴ xy + 8 = 0

∴ xy = -8 ⇒ our equation

∴ Answer (a) is our answer

∴ The answer is hyperbola; (x')² - (y')² - 16 = 0

* Look at the graph:

- The black is the equation (x')² - (y')² - 16 = 0

- The purple is the equation xy = -8

- The red line is x'

- The blue line is y'
