Given:
Hyperbola
a=55,000 km and c=81,000 km
hyperbola is the origin and the
transverse axis is horizontal
Required:
Equation of the path of a
satellite
Solution:
Formula for hyperbola, (x-h)2/a2
– (x-k)2/b2 = 1
At origin, (h, k) = (0, 0)
(x-0)2/(55000)2 – (x-0)2/(81000)2
= 1
<span>X2/12100 – y2/26244 = 250000</span>
Remember that the vertex form of a parabola or quadratic equation is:
y=a(x-h)^2+k, where (h,k) is the "vertex" which is the maximum or minimum point of the parabola (and a is half the acceleration of the of the function, but that is maybe too much :P)
In this case we are given that the vertex is (1,1) so we have:
y=a(x-1)^2+1, and then we are told that there is a point (0,-3) so we can say:
-3=a(0-1)^2+1
-3=a+1
-4=a so our complete equation in vertex form is:
y=-4(x-1)^2+1
Now you wish to know where the x-intercepts are. x-intercepts are when the graph touches the x-axis, ie, when y=0 so
0=-4(x-1)^2+1 add 4(x-1)^2 to both sides
4(x-1)^2=1 divide both sides by 4
(x-1)^2=1/4 take the square root of both sides
x-1=±√(1/4) which is equal to
x-1=±1/2 add 1 to both sides
x=1±1/2
So x=0.5 and 1.5, thus the x-intercept points are:
(0.5, 0) and (1.5, 0) or if you like fractions:
(1/2, 0) and (3/2, 0) :P
Answer:
A) 3.9 dollars
B) 126.38 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Denise Robb's account statement shows a $210.94 unpaid balance. With a periodic rate of 1.85%
The finance charge = 1.85/100 × 210.94 = 3.9 dollars
If She had new purchases of $341.22. The new balance will be
341.22 - ( 210.94 + 3.9 )
126.38 dollars
Answer: 15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost of TV = $252, Savings= $87. So, she will require, $252-$87 = $165 to buy TV.
Also, it's given that, she gets paid $11 per hour.
Therefore, she will require 165/11 hours = 15 hours to buy new Tv at the wage rate of $11/ hour.
