Answer:
a) 10/3
b) hyperbola
c) x = ± 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) A conic section with a focus at the origin, a directrix of x = ±p where p is a positive real number and positive eccentricity (e) has a polar equation:
Given the conic equation: 
We have to make it to be in the form :
Comparing with
e = 10/3 = 3.3333, p = 6/5
b) since the eccentricity = 3.33 > 1, it is a hyperbola
c) The equation of the directrix is x = ±p = ± 6/5
Answer:
Number of Cucumbers = 12
Number of Tomatoes = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let number of cucumber be c and number of tomatoes be t
Since he has room for 16 plants, we can write:
c + t = 16
He wants to plant 3 times as many cucumbers as tomatoes. We can write:
c = 3t
We can substitute this in 1st equation and solve for t:
c + t = 16
3t + t = 16
4t = 16
t = 16/4 = 4
And c = 3t
c = 3(4) = 12
Number of Cucumbers = 12
Number of Tomatoes = 4
Answer: 8.96 gallons of water
To answer this question you need to multiply the container b: container a ratio with the container a volume.
Since container b has more volume than container a, the ratio should be >1. In this case, the ratio is 100%+12%= 112%
Then the volume of container b is= 112% x 8 gallons= 8.96 gallons
Answer:
Using the ratio table the dogs weight is:
30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following conversion:
20 pounds = 9 kilograms
To use the table what we must do is find another relationship that allows us to find the weight in kilograms for 30 pounds.
For example, half the weight in pounds is half the weight in kilograms.
Therefore, the given conversion is:
10 pounds = 4.5 kilograms
So, for 30 pounds, we multiply this last ratio obtained by three on both sides:
30 pounds = 13.5 kilograms
Then, the table is:
Pounds 10 20 30
