Answer: 2/3

Explanation: Assume that the number of smarties he picked is c.

Now, we are given that:

1- He picked 3 times as many cola bottles as smarties. This means that:

Number of cola bottles he picked = 3s

2- He picked twice as many smarties as marshmallows. This means that:

number of marshmallows he picked = 0.5s

Now to get the proportion o f cola bottles, we will divide the number of cola bottles by the total number of sweets as follows:

proportion of cola bottles =

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

y = x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 2y = 14

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 2x from each side

2x - 2y -2x = -2x+14

-2y = -2x+14

Divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = -2x/-2 +14/-2

y = x -7

The slope is 1 and the y intercept is -7

Firdavs [7]

$\mathbf r(t)=\langle x(t),y(t),z(t)\rangle=\langle\sin t,\cos t,t\rangle$

$x^2+y^2+z^2=\sin^2t+\cos^2t+t^2=65$
$\implies t^2=64$
$\implies t=\pm8$

Q1: Identify the graph of the equation and write an equation of the translated or rotated graph in general form.

marin [14]

Answer:

C. hyperbola; $9x^2-25y^2-250y-850=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given conic has equation:

$9x^2-25y^2=225$

Divide through by 225.

$\frac{9x^2}{225}-\frac{25y^2}{225}=\frac{225}{225}$

$\frac{x^2}{25}-\frac{y^2}{9}=1$

This is a hyperbola centered at the origin.

The hyperbola has been translated from the origin to (0,5).

The translated hyperbola will have equation;

$\frac{(x-0)^2}{25}-\frac{(y-5)^2}{9}=1$

Multiply through by 225.

$9(x-0)^2-25(y-5)^2=225$

Expand

$9x^2-25(y^2-10y+25)=225$

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-625=225$

Rewrite in general form;

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-625-225=0$

$9x^2-25y^2+250y-850=0$

A cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town. The cell tower has a coverage radius of 3

butalik [34]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town. The cell tower has a coverage radius of 3 miles.

a) Start by drawing a diagram of this situation. Your diagram might include a coordinate plane, the cell tower, and a circle representing the cell tower's coverage boundary.

a) A house is located 5 miles north of the center of the town and is to the east of the cell tower. If the house lies on the boundary of the cell tower's coverage, how far east of the center of the town is the house?

Answer:

Let the center of the town represent the origin (0,0). Also 1 unit = 1 mile. Since the cell tower is located 3 miles east and 4 miles north of the center of a small town, it is represented by A(3, 4)

The cell tower has a coverage of radius 3 miles. This can be represented by a circle with equation:

(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r². where (a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius. Hence:

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 3²

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 9

The diagram is drawn using geogebra.

b) The house is 5 miles north. It can be represented by y = 5 line.

To find the distance east of the house we have to substitute y = 5 and solve for x, hence:

(x - 3)² + (y - 4)² = 9

(x - 3)² + (5 - 4)² = 9

(x - 3)² + 1 = 9

(x - 3)² = 8

(x - 3) = √8

x - 3 = ±2.83

x = 3 ± 2.83

x = 5.83 or 1.83

Since it is to the east to the cell tower, hence x = 5.83.

Therefore the house is located 5.83 miles to the east of the cell tower
