Start from the end. 5+4*2. Which in turn equals 18 inches.

Lana is the oldest of four sisters. Her youngest sister is half her age. The other two sisters are twins $2$ years younger than

vagabundo [1.1K]

Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45

A woman's weekly salary is increased from $350 to $380. The percent of increase is most nearly

Kay [80]

Find the amount of the difference and then divide it by the original amount:

380 - 350 = 30

30 / 350 = 0.0857 = 8.6% increase. Round the answer as needed.

Which hyperbola has one focus point in common with the hyperbola (y+11)^2/(15^2)-(x-7)^2/(8^2)=1

irina [24]

$\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }\\\\
\cfrac{(y-{{ k}})^2}{{{ a}}^2}-\cfrac{(x-{{ h}})^2}{{{ b}}^2}=1
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\
vertices\ ({{ h}}, {{ k}}\pm a)
\end{cases}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{(y+11)^2}{15^2}-\cfrac{(x-7)^2}{8^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y-(-11))^2}{15^2}-\cfrac{(x-7)^2}{8^2}=1\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
c=\textit{distance from the center to either foci}\\\\
c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\implies c=\sqrt{15^2+8^2}\implies \boxed{c=17}$

now, if you notice, the positive fraction, is the one with the "y" variable, and that simply means, the hyperbola traverse axis is over the y-axis, so it more or less looks like the picture below.

now, from the hyperbola form, we can see the center is at (7, -11), and that the "c" distance is 17.

so, from -11 over the y-axis, we move Up and Down 17 units to get the foci, which will put them at (7, -11-17) or (7, -28) and (7 , -11+17) or (7, 6)

which of the following represents a chord, but not a diameter, of the circle? A. TS, B. SN, C.TR, D.MN

Georgia [21]

Answer: A diameter goes straight across the circle and passes through the center point (point M). A radius stops at the center point, making the line go halfway across the circle (basically half the diameter). A chord goes across the circle, but does not go through the center point. Therefore, the answer is C, because it does not go through the center point.

Which expression is equivalent to StartFraction (3 m Superscript negative 2 Baseline n) Superscript negative 3 Baseline Over 6 m

Dovator [93]

Option a: $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$ is the equivalent expression.

Explanation:

The expression is $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ where $m\neq 0, n\neq 0$

Let us simplify the expression, to determine which expression is equivalent from the four options.

Multiplying the powers, we get,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{6} n^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$

Cancelling the like terms, we have,

$\frac{3^{-3}m^{5} n^{-1}}{6 }$

This equation can also be written as,

$\frac{m^{5}}{3^{3}6 n^{1} }$

Multiplying the terms in denominator, we have,

$\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Thus, the expression which is equivalent to $\frac{(3m^{-2} n)^{-3}}{6mn^{-2} }$ is $\frac{m^{5} }{162n}$

Hence, Option a is the correct answer.
