If you plot the points given on a coordinate plane you see that this is a hyperbola that is is horizontal in nature, meaning it opens side to side, not up and down. We can determine the center of it by taking the point equidistant from the vertices, which is (4, 5), the h and k of our center, respectively. Also, the equation looks like this when it is horizontal:
. a is the distance between the center and the vertices, so our a = 2, and c is the distance between the center and the foci, so our c = 3. We need to find b now, using Pythagorean's theorem.
and
. Now we have everything we need to rewrite the equation:
The correct answer is 110 cm
Explanation:
Fractions always include two values (one at the top and the other at the bottom) and they represent the proportion of something, for example, 1/2 of an apple means there is only half apple. Now, to calculate how much is 5/7 of 154 centimeters, simply divide the total number into the denominator (bottom number) and then multiply the result by the numerator (top number). This process is shown in detail below:
- 5 is the numerator and 7 is the denominator
5/7 of 154 cm
154 cm / 7 = 22
22 x 5 = 110 cm
So,
720 pt./hr.
2 pt. = 1 qt.
720/2 = 360
360 qt./hr.
Now, since there are 60 mins. in 1 hr., multiply the number by 60.
360(60) = 21600
720 pt./hr. = 21,600 qt./min.
