A camera is placed in front of a hyperbolic mirror. The equation of the hyperbola that models the mirror is y^2/16-x^2/9=1 where

x and y are in inches the camera is pointed toward the vertex of the hyperbolic mirror and is positioned such that the lens is at the nearest focus to that vertex. The lens is_____ inch(es) from the mirror.

Answer:

The lens is 6 inches from the mirror

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance of the lens from the mirror, if  the camera is pointed toward the vertex of the hyperbolic mirror and is positioned such that the lens is at the nearest focus to that vertex.

Given:

\frac{y^2}{16} - \frac{x^2}{9}=1

where a² = 16 and b² = 9

Then c² = a² + b²

c² = 16+9

c² = 25

c= √25 = 5

The hyperbola is centered at (0,0)

The vertex is at (0,a) = (0,4)

The foci is at (0,c) = (0,5)

The distance from vertex to focus is

d= c-a = 5-4 = 1 inches

Total distance from lens to mirror is sum of distance d and foci c:

5+1= 6 inches

frozen [14]

There are 9C_3 ways to select 3 from 9.

There are 5C_3 ways to select 3 men from 5 men and 4C_3 ways to select 3 women from 4 women.



If all three selected are men, then no woman was selected, and we have

5C_3 \times 4C_0 ways we can do that.



1)



P(All -3 -are -men)=[tex]\frac{5C_3 \times 4C_0}{9C_3}=\frac{5}{42}





2) If all 3 are women then no man was selected, and we have

5C_0 \times 4C_3 ways we can do that.


P(All- 3- are- women)=\frac{5C_0 \times 4C_3}{9C_3}=\frac{1}{21}



3) If 2 men and 1 woman were selected, the we have 5C_2\times 4C_1 ways we can do that.


P(2 -men -1 -woman)=\frac{5C_2\times 4C_1}{9C_3}=\frac{10}{21}




4) If 2 women and 1 man is selected, then we have  5C_1 \times 4C_2

P(2- women- 1 -man)=\frac{5C_1\times 4C_2}{9C_3}=\frac{5}{14}

Gabe and Eugenia bought a house! Their loan is for $117,000 , for 15 years at an annual interest rate of 4% . This results in a
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Principal element is $475.43

Interest payment is $390

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest paid in month one is 4%*$117,000*1/12=$390

The interest is calculated based on the annual interest rate of 4% apportioned to reflect one month interest by multiplying by 1/12

The principal element of monthly payment is the monthly payment minus interest.

principal paid in month one=$865.43-$390=$475.43

Ultimately,$475.43 goes toward reducing her loan balance while the $390 is interest on loan
