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.

To aid in sea navigation, Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above sea level with an unknown
algol13

Answer:

\approx 6^\circ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Little Gull Island Lighthouse shines a light from a height of 91 feet above the sea level.

The angle of depression is unknown.

Distance of the point at sea surface from the base of lighthouse is 865 ft.

This situation can be modeled or can be represented as the figure attached in  the answer area.

The situation can be represented by a right angled \triangle ABC in which we are given the base and the height of the triangle.

And we have to find the value of \angle BAD \ or \ \angle C (Because they are the internal vertically opposite angles).

Using tangent ratio:

tan\theta = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}

tanC = \dfrac{AC}{BC}\\\Rightarrow tanC = \dfrac{91}{865}\\\Rightarrow tanC = 0.105\\\Rightarrow \angle C \approx 6^\circ

Therefore, the angle of depression is: \approx 6^\circ

Yves bought 420 tropical fish for a museum display. He bought 6 times as many parrotfish as angelfish. How many of each type of
ohaa [14]
The answer would be d , because you have to add how many of each fish to equal up to the sum of 420 . which is x y . so the first equation is x + y = 420 . then it says he bought 6 times as many parrotfish as he did angelfish so you would have to multiply x which represents angelfish by 6 . to get the second equation of y = 6x .

Mario builds a triangular table to fit in the corner of his rectangular bedroom. Is it possible to construct more than one table
Viefleur [7K]

Answer 1 with Explanation

Obtained from the question, Mario builds a triangular table to fit in a corner of the bedroom with the construction measure of 45,90 and 45 degrees which will be possible. In order to construct any physical object, proper tool are needed for accuracy of the object to built more than one of the similar table. With the help of proper instruments and measurement Mario can easily make a triangular table for his room's corner.

Answer 2 with Explanation

As Mario built the triangular table for the corner to fit his bedroom corner. He make use of the special instrument and tool for the measurement. Indeed, it is possible to construct more than one table with the angles 45,45,90 as each of them will be similar in shape but with different values of x, hence it will differ in sizes in terms of length. The length will differ as per the requirement of Mario's needs.

Which expression is equivalent to the expression below? StartFraction m + 3 Over m squared minus 16 EndFraction divided by Start
Kamila [148]

Option B: \frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)} is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given expression is \frac{(\frac{m+3}{m^2-16}) }{(\frac{m^2-9}{m+4} )}

Simplifying the expression, we have,

\frac{m+3}{m^{2}-16}\times\frac{m+4}{m^2-9}

Factor the equations, m^{2}-16\right and m^{2}-9,we get,

m^{2}-16\right=m^{2}-4^{2}=(m+4)(m-4)

m^{2}-9=m^{2}-3^2=(m+3)(m-3)

Substituting these factored expressions in the above expression, we have,

\frac{m+3}{(m+4)(m-4)}\times\frac{m+4}{(m+3)(m-3)}

Cancelling the common terms m+3 and m+4 , we get,

\frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)}

Thus, the expression equivalent to \frac{(\frac{m+3}{m^2-16}) }{(\frac{m^2-9}{m+4} )} is \frac{1}{(m-4)(m-3)}

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
