A hyperbola centered at (7, 0) has a focus at (7, 5) and vertex at (7, 4). Which is the equation of the hyperbola in standard form?
quantity x minus 7 end quantity squared over 16 minus y squared over 9 equals 1

y squared over 16 minus quantity x minus 7 end quantity squared over 9 equals 1

Based on the calculations, the equation of this hyperbola in standard form is: A. [tex]\frac{x\;-\;7}{16} + \frac{y}{9} = 1[/tex].
How to determine the equation of a hyperbola?Mathematically, the equation of a hyperbola in standard form is given by:
[tex]\frac{x\;-\;h}{a^2} + \frac{x\;-\;k}{b^2} = 1[/tex]
Given the following data:
Center (h, k) = (7, 0)
Vertex (h+a, k) = (7, 4)
Focus = (h+c, k) = (7, 5)
Also, we can deduce that the value of a and c are 4 and 5 respectively.
For the value of b, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem:
c² = a² + b²
b² = c² - a²
b² = 5² - 4²
b² = 9.
Substituting the parameters into the standard equation, we have:
[tex]\frac{x\;-\;7}{4^2} + \frac{y\;-\;0}{3^2} = 1\\\\\frac{x\;-\;7}{16} + \frac{y}{9} = 1[/tex]

|4x + 7| − 4 = 20
Can anyone help me with this
Answer:
x = -31/4 or x = 17/4
Step-by-step explanation:
|4x + 7| − 4 = 20
⇔ |4x + 7| − 4 + 4 = 20 + 4
⇔ |4x + 7| = 24
⇔ 4x + 7 = 24 or 4x + 7 = -24
⇔ 4x = 24 - 7 or 4x = -24 - 7
⇔ 4x = 17 or 4x = -31
⇔ x = 17/4 or x = -31/4
Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] (17/4 = 4.25)
or x = [tex]-\frac{31}{4}[/tex] (-31/4 = -7.75)
Step-by-step explanation:
| | is notation for absolute value
absolute value - the distance that a number is from 0
> essentially, you can think of absolute value as the "positive version" of whatever is inside of the | |
if we have | x | = 20, we could really have (without the | | ) two versions of x
either | x | = 20 ; or | -x | = 20 {because a negative x inside of the | | has the same value as positive x}
we set this up as two equations:
x = 20 or -x = 20
^ {multiply by -1}
x = 20 or x = -20
now, let's plug our understanding into the equation
|4x + 7| - 4 = 20
first, we should simplify our equation to:
|4x + 7| - 4 = 20
+ 4 + 4
|4x + 7| = 24
now, let's separate this absolute value equation into two separate equations:
4x + 7 = 24:
- 7 - 7 {subtract 7 from both sides to isolate x}
4x = 17
÷4 ÷4 {divide both sides by 4 to get 1x}
x= [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex]
or,
4x + 7 = -24:
- 7 -7 {subtract 7 from both sides to isolate x}
4x = -31
÷4 ÷4 {divide both sides by 4 to get 1x}
x = [tex]-\frac{31}{4}[/tex]
so, we know that
x = [tex]\frac{17}{4}[/tex] (17/4 = 4.25)
or x = [tex]-\frac{31}{4}[/tex] (-31/4 = -7.75)

Given: [tex]\textsf{Goes through (-5, -3) and parallel to 7x + 4y = 10}[/tex]

A rectangular parking lot has a perimeter of 820 ft. The area of the parking lot measures 42,000 ft2. What is a dimension of the parking lot?
By solving a system of equations, we will see that the parking lot is 210ft by 200ft.
How to get the dimensions of the parking lot?For a rectangle of length L and width W, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(L + W)
And the area is:
A = L*W
Here we know that the perimeter is 820 ft and the area is 42,000 ft²
Then we can write the two equations (ignoring units).
820 = 2*(L + W)
42,000 = L*W
We can isolate L in the first equation to get:
820/2 = L + W
410 - W = L
Now we can replace that in the other equation:
42,000 = (410 - W)*W = 410*W - W^2
Now we want to solve the quadratic equation:
-W^2 + 410*W - 42,000 = 0
The solutions are given by:
[tex]W = \frac{-410 \pm \sqrt{410^2 - 4*(-1)*(-42000)} }{-2} \\\\W = \frac{-410 \pm 10 }{-2}[/tex]
Then the solutions are:
W = (-410 + 10)/(-2) = 200
W = (-410 - 10)/2 = 210
If we take W = 200, then:
L = 410 - W = 410 - 200 = 210
So we can conclude that the parking lot is 200ft by 210ft.

How many pounds of candy that sells for $0.82 per lb must be mixed with candy that sells for $1.36 per lb to obtain 9 lb of a mixture that should sell for $0.91 per lb?
7.5 pounds of the $0.82 per lb candy must be used in the mixture.
How many pounds of each candy should we use?First, let's define the variables:
x = pounds of the $0.82 candy used.y = pounds of the $1.36 candy used.We want to make 9 lb of mixture, then:
x + y = 9.
And the price of these 9 pounds must be $0.91, then we can write:
x*$0.82 + y*$1.36 = 9*$0.91 = $8.19
Then we have a system of equations:
x + y = 9.
x*$0.82 + y*$1.36 = $8.19
We can isolate y on the first equation so we get:
y = 9 - x
Now we can replace that on the other equation:
x*$0.82 + (9 - x)*$1.36 = $8.19
And now we can solve this for x.
x*($0.82 - $1.36) = $8.19 - 9*$1.36
-x*$0.54 = -$4.05
x = (4.05/0.54) = 7.5
So 7.5 pounds of the $0.82 per lb candy must be used in the mixture.

The answer is A. Complex number
find the slope of the line that passes through (3,10) and (1,17)
Answer:
[tex]m=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line passing through the two points [tex]\displaystyle{\large{{P}={\left({x}_{{1}},{y}_{{1}}\right)}}}[/tex] and[tex]\displaystyle{\large{{Q}={\left({x}_{{2}},{y}_{{2}}\right)}}}[/tex] is given by [tex]\displaystyle{\large{{m}=\frac{{{y}_{{2}}-{y}_{{1}}}}{{{x}_{{2}}-{x}_{{1}}}}}}[/tex].
We have that [tex]x_1=3[/tex], [tex]y_1=10[/tex], [tex]x_2=1[/tex], [tex]y_2=17[/tex].
Plug the given values into the formula for slope: [tex]m=\frac{\left(17\right)-\left(10\right)}{\left(1\right)-\left(3\right)}=\frac{7}{-2}=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Answer: the slope of the line is [tex]m=- \frac{7}{2}[/tex].
Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{x_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 10 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 17 )
m = [tex]\frac{17-10}{1-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{-2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
