If you want to share 747 pounds between Tom and Ben in ratio 2:7, then you should divide 747 by 2+7=9 in order to determine how many pounds will one part of 9 parts.

747:9=83.

Then Tom should get 2 such parts, that is 83·2=166 pounds and Ben should get 7 such parts, that is 83·7=581 pounds.

Answer: you should give 166 pounds to Tom and 581 pounds to Ben.

The center of a hyperbola is located at (0, 0). One focus is located at (0, 5) and its associated directrix is represented by th
Lady bird [3.3K]
For a hyperbola   \dfrac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\dfrac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1
where   a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}
the directrix is the line   y=\dfrac{a^{2}}{c}
and the focus is at (0, c).

Here, we have c = 5, a² = 9, so b² = 5² - 9 = 16.
  a = √9 = 3
  b = √16 = 4

Your hyperbola's constants are ...
  a = 3
  b = 4


______
Please note that the equation of a hyperbola has a negative sign for one of the terms. The equation given in your problem statement is that of an ellipse.

Please... Solve this: the bearing of a tree from a house is 295°. Find the bearing of the house from the tree.
jonny [76]

Given parameters:

Bearing of the tree from the house  = 295°

Unknown:

Bearing of the house from the tree = ?

Solution:

This is whole circle bearing problem(wcb). There are different ways of representing directions from one place to another. In whole circle bearing, the value of the bearing varies from 0° to 360° in the clockwise direction.

To find the back bearing in this regard, simple deduct the forward bearing from 360°;

    Backward bearing  = 360° -295°

                                    = 65°

The bearing from house to the tree is 65°

Two commuters leave the same city at the same time but travel in opposite directions. One car is traveling at an average speed o
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to relate speed, distance and time is:

D = V * t

Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

As they are in opposite directions, we need to sum the speed.

So the total speed is:

V = 63 + 59 = 122 mph

So using this value and V and using D = 610, we have:

610 = 122 * t

t = 610 / 122 = 5 hours

So they will be 610 miles apart after 5 hours.
