Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Therefore, if the slope of line b is 1/3, the slope of line a is also 1/3

Answer:

(-4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2 means ur gonna take coordinate A and move it back 2 places along the x axis, (-4,-2) and then y+2 means ur gonna go up to places alomg the y axis which brings coordinate A' to (-4,0)

A system for tracking ships indicated that a ship lies on a hyperbolic path described by 5x2 - y2 = 20. the process is repeated
zysi [14]
Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)

Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III

Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II

To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.

Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9

We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3

Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5

Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).

Hope this helps :)

Can someone explain to me why are we adding 2kpi when we are doing zeros for sin and cos, but adding kpi when doing zeros for tg
makvit [3.9K]

on the first exercise, you got a solution angle of π/18, that's a good solution for the I Quadrant only, however, on a circle, we have angles that go from 0 to 2π, however we can always keep on going around and continute to 2π + π/2 or 3π or 4π, or 115π/3 or 1,000,000π/18 and so on, and we're really just going around the circle many times over, getting a larger and larger angle, same circular motion.

π/18 on that exercise works for the I Quadrant, however if we continue and go around say 2π, we'll find that 2π/3 + π/18 is a coterminal angle with π/18, and thus that angle has also the same sine value.

π/18 + 2kπ/3 , where k = integer, is a way to say, all angles around the circle that look like this have the same sine, namely

π/18 + 2(1)π/3

π/18 + 2(2)π/3

π/18 + 2(3)π/3

π/18 + 2(5)π/3

π/18 + 2(99999999)π/3

.....

so using the "k" as some sequence multiplier, is a generic notational way to say, "all these angles".

you'll also find that "n" is used as well for the same notation, say for example

2π/3  + 2πn.
