Answer:

4,800 feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

[1] So we have two different units, 20 feet and 80 yards. First we need to get that into one unit. Since the answer is asking for feet, we will mutiple 80 by 3 (3 feet in a yard) to get 240 feet.

[2] We then mutiply 20 by 240 as area is length times width (or width times length) for an answer of 4,800.

[3] Last but not least, this is area so we have to answer in square feet. Our final answer is 4,800 feet²

Malcom is filling bags with rice . He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each bag with 5/8 pounds of rice . H

timama [110]

Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5 $\frac{1}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{21}{4}$ pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of $\frac{5}{8}$ pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = $\frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{8}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ x $\frac{8}{5}$

= $\frac{42}{5}$

= 8 $\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.

PLEASE ANSWER I AM BEGGING YOU THIS IS RLLY CONFUSING AND I JUST WANT TO GET IT OVER WITH

pickupchik [31]

the y-intercept is 4, which means the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,4).

[just put a dot on the number four that's right under the letter y]

the slope of the line is positive, so it goes up from left to right.

Start at the y-intercept. Move up 2 and then move right 1.

You are now at the point (1,6).

[go to 1 for the horizontal line, then go up 6 spaces.] [connect two points]

use the information provided to write the standard form equation of each hyperbola vertices:(4,14), (4,-10) foci: (4,15), (4,-11

Evgen [1.6K]

So... if you notice the picture below, based on the given vertices, is a hyperbola with a vertical traverse axis

meaning for the equation, the fraction with the "y" variable is the positive fraction, thus $\bf \cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1$

so... what' the point h,k for the center? well, just take a peek at the graph, the center is half-way between both vertices, that's h,k

what's the "a" component or the traverse axis... well, is the distance from one vertex to the center, notice the picture, notice how many units from either vertex to the center, that's "a"

now.. what's "b"? well, "b" comes from the conjugate axis, or the other runnning over the x-axis hmm the smaller one in this case.... well, we dunno what "b" is

however, we know the distance from either focus, to the center of the hyperbola, and that distance "c", is $\bf c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

notice the picture, notice the distance from either focus to the center, that's the distance "c", thus $\bf c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b$

that'd be "b"

bearing in mind that $\bf \cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center= ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\ b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}
\end{cases}$
