You are given the equation 36 = 9x² + 4y². You are asked to find the slopes of the asymptotes of the hyperbola. A hyperbola has the following general equation x²/a² + y²/b² = 1. the goal here is to find the slopes of the hyperbolic equation. So divide both sides by 36
36 = 9x² + 4y²
(1/36)[36 = 9x² + 4y²]
1 = x²/4 + y²/9
a² = 4
a = 2
and
b² = 9
b = 3
To find the slope, divide a/b and you will get 2/3.
Answer:
The ratio means that for every 8 fries, there is a ketchup. So if there were 16 fries, then there are 2 ketchup.
First, to make things easier, let's turn 5/4 into a decimal given a second is equal to 1000 milliseconds.
5/4 = 1,25
1,25 * 1000 = 1250 milliseconds = 1.25 seconds
So, we've found that 45 yards can be covered in 1.25 seconds. Now we'll use the rule of 3:
45 - 1.25
80 - x
Now we solve:
(80 * 1.25) / 45 = x
100 / 45 = x
2,22... = x
So, according to our answer, 80 yards can be covered in 2,22 seconds, which in fractions would be:
