Answer: UV = 52

Concept:

Additive property of length, or the segment addition postulate, states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.

Solve:

Given information

TU = 4x

UV = 2x + 14

TV = 7x - 5

Given expression deducted from the additive property of length

TV = TU + UV

Substitute values into the expression

7x - 5 = 4x + 2x + 14

Combine like terms

7x - 5 = 6x + 14

Subtract 6x on both sides

7x - 5 - 6x = 6x + 14 - 6x

x - 5 = 14

Add 5 on both sides

x - 5 + 5 = 14 + 5

x = 19

Find UV by substituting the value of x

UV = 2x + 14 = 2 (19) + 14 = $\boxed{52}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Given the foci of (8,0) and the difference of the focal radii = 6, find the equation of the hyperbola

k0ka [10]

Given :

The foci of hyperbola are (8,0) and (-8,0) .

The difference of the focal radii = 6.

To Find :

The equation of the hyperbola.

Solution :

We know, distance between foci is given by :

2c = 8 - (-8)

c = 8

Also, difference between the foci or focal distance is given by :

2a = 6

a = 3

Now, we know for hyperbola :

$b^2 +a^2 = c^2\\\\b^2={c^2-a^2}\\\\b^2 = 64-9\\\\b^2 = 55$

General equation of hyperbola is :

$\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{9}+ \dfrac{y^2}{55}=1$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Fill in the numbers to find a Sum

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The numbers are -15 and 100

$\frac{2}{10} +\frac{-15}{100} =\frac{5}{100}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$\frac{2}{10} +\frac{x}{100} =\frac{5}{y}$

Solve the left side

$\frac{2}{10} +\frac{x}{100} =\frac{20+x}{100}$

$\frac{20+x}{100}=\frac{5}{y}$

equate the numerators and the denominators

20+x=5 ------> x=5-20=-15

100=y -------> y=5

therefore

The numbers are -15 and 100

$\frac{2}{10} +\frac{-15}{100} =\frac{5}{100}$

Solve the following system x=3 y=3x-1

astraxan [27]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it gives you x, you need to plug in the number given for it into the equation:

y = 3x - 1

y = 3(3) - 1

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

So now you have, x = 3 and y = 8

Complete the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)

Rudik [331]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis.

According to the data of the statement we have the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 9, -9)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 6,0)$

We found the slope:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} = \frac {0 - (- 9)} {- 6 - (- 9)} = \frac { 9} {- 6 + 9} = \frac {9} {3} = 3$

Thus, the equation is of the form:

$y = 3x + b$

We substitute one of the points and find b:

$0 = 3 (-6) + b\\0 = -18 + b\\b = 18$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = 3x + 18$

Answer:

$y = 3x + 18$

Solve for area of the shaded region (#61) Pls explain im so confused

BartSMP [9]

Answer: So after reading my explanation you can simply find the area good luck!

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality 1 is graphed in blue and inequality 2 is graphed in red. The overlap of the shaded regions (purple shading) represents the solution. ... Inequality 1 is graphed in blue and inequality 2 is graphed in red. In this case the regions do not overlap. This indicates that there is no solution to the system
