Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

Men:Woman = 3:2
54 women = Total woman in a company

<u>3:2 can also be written as 3x:2x.</u>

=> Men:54 = 3x:2x
=> 54 = 2x
=> x = 27
=> Men = 3x
=> Men = 3(27) = 81
=> Total employees: 81 + 54
=> Total employees: 135

There are 135 employees in total.

3 to 5

3x+5x=176

8x=176

x=176/8

x=22

3*22= 66 men

5*22= 110 women

The equation of the hyperbola that has a center at ( 6 , 9 ) , a focus at ( 11 , 9 ) , and a vertex at ( 9 , 9 ) (x−C)^2/A^2−(y−

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$A=-3$

$C=6$

$B=4$

$D=9$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Center of hyperbola at ( 6 , 9 )

Focus of hyperbola at ( 11 , 9 )

Vertex of hyperbola at ( 9 , 9)

Equation of hyperbola $\frac{(x-C)^2}{A^2} -\frac{(y-D)^2}{B^2}=1$

Generally the C and D of the hyperbola equation is mathematically given by

$Centers (6,9)$

$C=6$

$D=9$

Generally the A and B a of the hyperbola equation is mathematically given by

$A=x_c-x_v$

$A=6-9$

$A=-3$

$C'=x_c-x_f$

$C'=6-11$

$C'=-5$

Therefore with Center,Focus ,Vertex on the same line

$B^2=C'^2-A^2$

$B^2=(-5^2)-(-3^2)^2$

$B^2=(25)-(9)$

$B^2=16$

$B=4$
