x^2/36-y^2/16=1
This is an equation of a hyperbola with horizontal transverse axis.
Its standard form: (x-h)^2/a^2-(y-k)^2/b^2=1, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of the center
For given equation:x^2/36-y^2/16=1

..
slope of asymptotes for hyperbolas with horizontal transverse axis=±b/a=±4/6=±2/3
asymptotes are straight lines that intersect at the center.
Equation for asymptote with negative slope:
y=-2x/3+b
since y-intercept is at 0, b=0
equation of asymptote: y=-2x/3
..
Equation for asymptote with positive slope:
y=2x/3+b
since y-intercept is at 0, b=0
equation of asymptote: y=2x/3

Proportions/615969: I am 62 and am tutoring a 50-year old woman who needs to pass the entrance exam for a college algebra class at the University of Maine in Augusta this Fall. I have done this question by calulator for an answer of B=1.08, but she reduced the fractions longhand and got B=0.1. Doing it her way step-by-step I see the problem is in the cross-products, but I cannot write it out in a step-by-step fashion to get the right answer either. Would you please write out the step-by-step reduction for me? The question is:
3¼/2 = B/two-thirds, that is 3 and one-quarter over 2 = B over two-thirds.
Thank you. I see my student again next Tuesday, June 5th, Bob Gross

Answer 387422 by lwsshak3(6518) About Me  on 2012-05-29 20:03:51 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3¼/2 = B/two-thirds
3 and 1/4=13/4
rewrite equation:
(13/4)/2=B/(2/3)
cross-multiply
2B=(2/3)(13/4=26/12
divide by 2
B=26/24=13/12
If an exact answer is wanted, you must leave it in this fraction form.
If a decimal answer is wanted, you will get 13/12=1.08333...
so, you would probably round it off depending on how many decimal places are wanted.
one decimal place=1.1
two decimal places=1.08
three decimal places=1.083
etc.
hope this helps

**
let x=travel time from town A to town B
11-x=travel time on return trip
Distance=travel time*speed
..
40x=120(11-x)
40x=1320-120x
40x+120x=1320
160x=1320
x=8.25 hrs
11-x=2.75 hrs
distance from town A to town B=8.25*40=330 miles

**
I don't have the means to plot a graph for you, but I can provide information with which you can plot the curve yourself.
When degree of numerator is one unit higher than that of the denominator, you will have slant or oblique asymptotes, as in this case.
To find equation of slant asymptote, divide numerator by denominator by long division or synthetic division. The quotient is the equation of the slant asymptote.
(x^2+5x+5)/(x+2)=(x+3)+remainder=1
equation of slant asymptote: y=x+3
..
To find vertical asymptote, set denominator=0, then solve for x
x+2=0
x=-2=vertical asymptote
..

set x=0,then solve for y
f(0)=(x^2+5x+5)/(x+2)=5/2

sin 15º=sin(45-30)
=(sin45cos30-cos45sin30)
=√2/2*√3/2-√2/2*1/2
=√6/4-√2/4
=(√6-√2)/4

verify the identity
tanx(1-sinx^2x)=1/2sin2x
**
Start with left side
tanx(1-sinx^2x)
=(sinx/cosx)(cos^2x)
=sinxcosx
=(1/2)sin2x
verified:
left side=right side

**
let x=speed of slower car
x+6=speed of faster car
distance traveled=600-123=477 km
travel time=4 hrs
Distance=travel time*speed
4x+4(x+6)=477
4x+4x+24=477
8x=477-24=453
x=453/8=56.625
x+6=62.625
ans:
speed of slower car=56.625 km/hr
speed of faster car=62.625 km/hr

**
let x=hrs Kay takes to do the job alone
1/x= Kay's work rate
x+1=hrs Lynn takes to do the job alone
1/(x+1)=Lynn's work rate
4=hrs Jack takes to do the job alone(given)
1/4 =Jack's work rate
.4x=hrs to complete the job working together
..
.4x/x+.4x/(x+1)+.4x/4=100% of the job
.4+.4x/(x+1)+.x=1
multiply by 10
4+4x/(x+1)+x=10
LCD:(x+1)
4x+4+4x+x^2+x=10x+10
x^2-x-6=0
(x-3)(x+2)=0
x=-2 (reject, x>0)
or
x=3
ans:
hrs Kay takes to do the job alone=3

Average age of 4 sons of a family is 12 years. Average age of sons together with their parents is 28 years. If father is older than mother by 6 years . Find the age of mother?
**
let x=age of mother
x+6=age of father
..
Total age of 4 sons/4=12
Total age of 4 sons=48
..
(Total age of 4 sons+father's age+mother's age)/6=28
(48+x+6+x)/6=28
48+x+6+x=168
2x=168-54=114
x=114/2
x=57
ans:

I have a question, what is the smallest positive real number x such that sin(2x+1)=1? Please give me a full explanation.
**
When sin(x)=1
x=π/2 radians
so, when sin(2x+1)=1
2x+1=π/2 radians
4x+2=π
4x=π-2
x=(π-2)/4

A ball is dropped from the top 96 foot tall building. How long will it take to fall to the ground? How long will it take to fall half of the distance to ground level?
**
h(t)=-16t^2+ho
For given problem, ho=96
h(t)=-16t^2+96
..
When object falls to the ground, h(t)=0
0=-16t^2+96
16t^2=96
t^2=96/16=6
t=√6
..
When object falls half the distance to the ground, h(t)=48
48=-16t^2+96
16t^2=48
t^2=48/16=3
t=√3
ans:
When object falls to the ground, it will take√6 seconds
When object falls half the distance to the ground,it will take √3 seconds

**
The formula to be used is that of a straight line.
Its standard form: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
For given problem:
m=110/bicycle
b=y-intercept=90000
x=number of bicycles produced
Equation for total cost: y=$110x+$90000

**
Use quantitative analysis method to solve:
let c=circumference
..
72km/hr*min/400 rev*hr/60min*rev/c
hr, min, rev, cancel out
=72000m/c*60*400
=3m/c
circumference=3m
