Find the polar equation of the conic with the focus at the pole, directrix x = -5, and eccentricity 2.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Directrix, d= -5, and eccentricity, e = 2.

The polar equation of the conic is given by :

[tex]r=\dfrac{ed}{1-e\cos\theta}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]r=\dfrac{-5\times 2}{1-2\cos\theta}\\\\=\dfrac{-10}{1-2\cos\theta}[/tex]

60% of the books on a bookshelf are english books. If there are 35 english books on the bookshelf, find the number of the books in the book shelf

Answers

Answer: 58 books

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 35 English books on the shelf and this constitutes 60% of the total number of books on the shelf.

Denoting the total number as x, the total number is:

35 = 60% * x

x = 35 / 60%

= 58 books

Determine the signs of sino coso and tane if O is an angle in standard position and
P (2,-5) is a point on its terminal side.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

product of slopes of perpendicular lines=-1

(t-5)/(3+4)×(2-3)/(-4-1)=-1

(t-5)/7×(-1/-5)=-1

(t-5)/35=-1

t-5=-1×35=-35

t=-35+5

t=-30

2.

slopes of parallel lines are equal.

(-2+3)/(t-4)=(-1-4)/(4+2)

1/(t-4)=-5/6

t-4=-6/5

t=4-6/5=(20-6)/5=14/5

The y intercept is 250 and the slope is -10/3.

What is equation of a line?

The equation of a line is linear in two variables, usually x and y, that is satisfied by points of the line.

We have the following ordered pairs in the line given:

(0, 250) and (30, 150)

Calculating the slope:

m = 150 - 250/ 30 - 0

m = -100/30

m = -10/3

Therefore, the slope is -10/3

Finding the y-intercept:

The equation of a line has the form:

y = mx + b, where m is the slope

Replacing by the values we know:

150 = -10/3 * 30 + b

b = 150 + 100

b = 250

Therefore, the y intercept is 250.

Hence the y intercept is 250 and the slope is -10/3.

You have a group of 5 students who all measure the length of a salamander that is 17 cm long. The measurements are: 16.1 cm, 16. 2 cm, 16.1 cm, 16.2 cm, and 16.2 cm. These measurements are ______.

Answers

Answer: precise but not accurate

Step-by-step explanation:

To be precise means for the measurement to be close to the exact value. To be accurate means to get the exact measurement.

In this case, since the students got values that are close to 17cm, it means that they are precise but they are not accurate since they didn't get the exact measurement which is 17cm.

Answer:  12.5  (choice C)

=================================================

We apply the pythagorean theorem to find this answer.

a = 11 and b = 6 are the given legs

c = unknown hypotenuse

So,

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt( a^2+b^2 )

c = sqrt( 11^2 + 6^2 )

c = sqrt( 121 + 36 )

c = sqrt( 157 )

c = 12.52996 approximately

c = 12.5

Side note: once you replace 'a' and b with 11 and 6, you can compute everything with a calculator in one single step more or less. The steps above are shown if you wanted to find the exact value sqrt(157).

Carter needs to wrap seven presents. He lays the ribbon out flat and says that I'll have just enough pieces if I make six equally spaced cuts, I can use one piece for each package. And I won't have any pieces left over. Does he have enough pieces to wrap all the presents?

Answers

Answer:

Yes, he has enough pieces to wrap the present

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Presents = 7[/tex]

[tex]Cuts = 6[/tex]

Required

Is there enough pieces to wrap all presents

As a general rule;

When a piece is cut in 1 place, you get 2 pieces

When a piece is cut in 2 places, you get 3 pieces

When a piece is cut in 3 place, you get 4 pieces

This implies that:

n cuts gives n + 1 pieces

i.e.

[tex]n \to n + 1[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]6\ cuts \to (6 + 1) pieces[/tex]

[tex]6\ cuts \to 7\ pieces[/tex]

Hence, there are enough pieces.

To make 12 cookies, you need 1.25cups of all-purpose flour, 110grams of butter, half cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon (tsp) of baking soda, what is the ratio of brown sugar is to baking soda is to butter to make 24 cookies is ?

Answers

Answer:

1 cup of brown sugar to 2 teaspoon of baking soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1.25cups of all-purpose flour, 110grams of butter, half cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon (tsp) of baking soda is needed to make 12 cookies. Therefore to make 24 cookies, double of this value would be needed.

Hence, 2.5 cups of flour, 220 grams of butter, 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 teaspoon of baking soda would be needed to make 24 cookies.

The ratio of brown sugar is to baking soda is to butter to make 24 cookies = 1 cup / 2 teaspoon = 1 cup of brown sugar to 2 teaspoon of baking soda

The equation [tex]b^2-4ac[/tex] represents the discriminant of a quadratic. It is the part taken from under the radical in the quadratic formula.

For any quadratic:

If the discriminant is positive, or greater than 0, the quadratic has two solutionsIf the discriminant is equal to 0, the quadratic has one distinct real solution (the solution is repeated).If the discriminant is negative, or less than 0, the quadratic has zero solutions

In the graph, we see that the equation intersects the x-axis at two distinct points. Therefore, the quadratic has two solutions and the discriminant must be positive. Thus, we have [tex]b^2-4ac>0[/tex].
