Answer:
<h2>The equation is

.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a hyperbola is represented by
, where (h, k) is the center of the hyperbola.
As per the given condition, h = -2 and k = 4.
Thus, the equation becomes
.
One vertex is (-2, 7).
Hence, putting x = -2 and y = 7, we get
.
The slope of the asymptote is
.
Hence,
.
Thus, the equation is
.
The angles with measures 5x + 15 and 115 are corresponding angles.
For lines a and b to be parallel, those angles must be congruent.
5x + 15 = 115
5x = 100
x = 20
Answer:
a. Alice
b. Briana
c. 0.51 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Alice formula is valid for any t > 0 minutes, but Briana formula is only valid for
2t - 1 > 0
2t > 1
t > 1/2 minutes
b. They finish when their covered distance is equal to 5 kilometers. For Alice:
t/4 = 5
t = 5*4 = 20 minutes
For Briana:
√(2t - 1) = 5
2t - 1 = 5²
2t = 25 + 1
t = 26/2
t = 13 minutes
c. They are side by side when they have covered the same distance, that is:
t/4 = √(2t - 1)
(t/4)² = 2t - 1
t²/16 = 2t - 1
t² = 16*(2t - 1)
t² = 32t - 16
t² - 32t + 16 = 0
Using quadratic formula:







Only the second answer has sense for this problem because the race already finished before they spent 31.49 minutes in it.
