One bottle has a height of 12 centimeters or 12 cm. Let us call this h1, so h1 = 12 cm

While the other bottle has a height of 15 centimeters or 15 cm. Let us call this h2, so h2 = 15 cm

 

The difference in height can be calculated by subtracting the smaller number from the bigger number, therefore:

difference in height = h2 – h1

difference in height = 15 cm – 12 cm

difference in height = 3 cm

 

We know that in 1 meter there is:

1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters

Therefore,

difference in height = 3 cm (1000 millimeters / 100 centimeters)

difference in height = 30 mm

On a road map, the locations A, B and C are collinear. Location C divides the road from location A to B, such that AC:CB = 1:2.
koban [17]

Answer:

C. (-1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C internally divides AB in the ratio AC/CB = 1/2 = m/n where m = 1 and n = 2, we use the formula for internal division.

Let A = (x₁, y₁) = (5, 16), B = (x₂, y₂) and C = (x, y) = (3, 10)

So x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

Substituting the values of the coordinates, we have

x = (mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n)

3 = (1 × x₂ + 2 × 5)/(2 + 1)

3 = (x₂ + 10)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

9 = x₂ + 10

x₂ = 9 - 10

x₂ = -1

y = (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)

10 = (1 × y₂ + 2 × 16)/(2 + 1)

10 = (x₂ + 32)/3

multiplying through by 3, we have

30 = y₂ + 32

y₂ = 30 - 32

y₂ = -2

So, the coordinates of B are (-1, -2)

A statue is mounted on top of a 16 foot hill. From the base of the hill to where you are standing is 77 feet and the statue subt
DanielleElmas [232]

Consider right triangle with vertices B - base of the hill, S - top of the statue and Y - you. In this triangle angle B is right and angle Y is 13.2°. If h is a height of the statue, then the legs YB and BS have lengths 77 ft and 16+h ft.

You have lengths of two legs and measure of one acute angle, then you can use tangent to find h:

\tan 13.2^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}} =\dfrac{16+h}{77}, \\ \\ 0.2345=\dfrac{16+h}{77},\\  \\ 16+h=0.2345\cdot 77=18.0565,\\ h=18.0565-16=2.0565 ft.

Answer: the height of the statue is 2.0565 ft.

Ed is 7 years older than Ted. Ed’s age is also 3/4 times Ted’s age. How old are Ed and Ted?
svetlana [45]
Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

Find the eccentricity, b. identify the conic, c. give an equation of the directrix, and d. sketch the conic.
densk [106]

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:

r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

Given the conic equation: r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}

We have to make it to be in the form r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}:

r=\frac{12}{3-10cos\theta}\\\\multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ \frac{1}{3} \\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{(3-10cos\theta)*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{12*\frac{1}{3}}{3*\frac{1}{3}-10cos\theta*\frac{1}{3}}\\\\r=\frac{4}{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta } \\\\r=\frac{\frac{10}{3}(\frac{6}{5} ) }{1-\frac{10}{3}cos\theta }

Comparing with  r=\frac{ep}{1\pm e*cos\theta}

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
