what is the value of a if va- vh is equals to 1

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle a = \frac{1+vh}{v}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we want to figure out a value of a for the following condition

[tex] \displaystyle va - vh = 1[/tex]

to do so factor out v;

[tex] \displaystyle v (a - h )= 1[/tex]

divide both sides by v which yields:

[tex] \displaystyle \frac{(a-h) \cancel{(v)}}{ \cancel{v}}= \frac{1}{v} [/tex]

therefore,

[tex] \displaystyle a-h = { \frac{1}{v}}[/tex]

now,add h to both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle a = \frac{1}{v}+h[/tex]

further simplification if necessary:

[tex] \displaystyle a =\boxed{ \frac{1+vh}{v}}[/tex]

Given:-[tex]\sf{va-vh=1 }[/tex]

To find:-

[tex]\sf{ value~ of ~a }[/tex]

Solution:-

[tex]\sf{ va-vh=1 }[/tex]

factor out of v

[tex]\sf{v(a-h)=1 }[/tex]

Dividing both sides by (v)

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{v(a-h)}{(v)}=\dfrac{1}{(v)} }[/tex]

cancel out (v)

[tex]\sf{\dfrac{\cancel{v}(a-h)}{\cancel{(v)}}=\dfrac{1}{(v)} }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ a-h=\dfrac{1}{v} }[/tex]

add h in both sides

[tex]\sf{a-h+h=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex]

cancelout h

[tex]\sf{a-\cancel{h}+\cancel{h}=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{a=\dfrac{1}{v}+h }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\sf{a=\dfrac{1+vh}{v} } }[/tex]

[tex]\sf{ }[/tex] [tex]\sf{ }[/tex]

Therefore:-

the value of a if va- vh is equals to 1 is [tex]\bold{\dfrac{1+vh}{v} }[/tex]

What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below?
O A. y = 2 x + 1
O B. y --4x+1
O C. y - 4x +1
O D. y--3x+1

Answers

Answer:

A.) y = 3/4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's find the slope using the slope formula, (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁). The two points given are (0,1)₁ and (4,4)₂. We have to substitute those values.

y₂ = 4, y₁ = 1, x₂ = 4, x₁ = 0 --> (4 - 1)/(4 - 0) = 3/4

The slope is 3/4.

Now, we have to find the y-intercept, which is where the line meets the y-axis. It touches the y-axis at (0,1). The y-intercept is 1.

Finally, we build our equation in slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 3/4x + 1

Four cans of cat food and 3 cans of dog food cost $1.99. Four cans of the same cat food and 1 can of the same dog food cost $1.33 hat is the cost of one can of cat food

Answers

Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use System of Equations to find out how much a can of cat food costs.

Let's use variables to represent the cat food and dog food:

x = cost of 1 cat food can

y = cost of 1 dog food can

Here are our 2 equations based on the scenarios in the question:

4x + 3y = 1.99

4x + y = 1.33

Now let's set the second equation to y using basic algebra:

4x + y = 1.33

y = -4x+1.33

And we're going to plug that value of y, which is -4x+1.33 into the first equation and solve:

4x + 3y = 1.99

4x + 3(-4x+1.33) = 1.99

4x + -12x+3.99 = 1.99

-8x + 3.99 = 1.99

-8x = -2

x = 1/4

x = 0.25

1 can of cat food costs $0.25

Hope that helps (●'◡'●)

Answer:

.25

Step-by-step explanation:

set up equations

1)4c+3d=1.99

2)4c+d=1.33

Method of use:Elimination

          4c+3d=1.99

       - (4c+d)=-(1.33)

        ___________

=2d=.66

divide by two on both sides to get .33 for d.

plug in

4c+.33=1.33

subtract .33 on both sides

4c=1

divide by four on both sides to get c

c=1/4 or .25

Answers

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are same side interior angles and they will add to 180 when the lines are parallel

6x+8  + 4x+2 = 180

10x+10 = 180

Subtract 10 from each side

10x+10-10 =180-10

10x = 170

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 170/10

x = 17

Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Theorem:

If two lines are cut by a transversal such that same-side interior angles are supplementary, then the lines are parallel.

For the lines to be parallel, the sum of 6x + 8 and 4x + 2 must equal 180.

6x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 180

10x + 10 = 180

10x = 170

x = 17

Two towns A and B are 220km apart. A bus left town A at 11.00 AM and travelled towards town B at 60km/hr. At the same time, a van left town B for town A and travelled at 80km/hr. The van stopped for a total of 45 minutes on the way before meeting the bus. Calculate the distance covered by the bus before meeting the van. Please show clear working and explanation to get a brainlist !!!

Answers

Answer:

Sa / Va = time traveled by bus a

Sb  / Vb + 3/4  = time traveled by van b

Sa / Va = Sb  / Vb + 3/4      times traveled are the same

            = (220 - Sa) / Vb + 3/4

Sa ( 1 / Va + 1 / Vb) = 220 / 80 + 3/4

Sa (140 / 4800) = 3.5

Sa = 120 km

Check: 120 km / 60 km/hr = 2 hr = Ta

Sb = 1.25 * 80 = 100 km   traveling for 1.25 hrs

A t-shirt cost 5 times as much as a singlet. For $800,a trader can buy 32 more singlet than t-shirts. How much does a t-shirt cost

Answers

Answer: [tex]\$100[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

T-shirt cost 5 times as much as a singlet

Suppose the price of a singlet [tex]x[/tex]

Price of a T-shirt is [tex]5x[/tex]

According to the question, for $800, trader can buy 32 more singlet than T-shirt

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{800}{x}=\dfrac{800}{5x}+32\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{800}{x}-\dfrac{160}{x}=32\\\\\Rightarrow 800-160=32x\\\\\Rightarrow x=20[/tex]

Thus, the price of a T-shirt is [tex]5x=\$100[/tex]

On a Job application Doris gave her age as 32 years. Her actual age at the time was about 27. What is the relative error fo her age?

Answers

Answer:

Relative error = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Measured age = 32 years

Actual age = 27 years

Relative error =?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Measured age = 32 years

Actual age = 27 years

Absolute error =?

Absolute error = | Measured – Actual |

Absolute error = | 32 – 27 |

Absolute error = 5 years

Finally, we shall determine the relative error. This can be obtained as follow:

Absolute error = 5 years

Actual age = 27 years

Relative error =?

Relative error = Absolute error / Actual years

Relative error = 5 / 27

Relative error = 0.19

Which expressions are equivalent.

Jada worked at the bakery for 14 hours last week he spent $12 of his earnings on a cake for his father‘s birthday as he was last with $86 after buying the cake what is Gianna‘s hourly wage

Answers

Answer:

$7 is his Hourly Wage.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by finding out how much money Jada started with by adding the amount of money he had after buying the cake with how much he spent on the cake, 86 + 12 = 98.

We now know how much money he had before buying anything. Now we can just divide the total amount of money by how long he worked.

98 ÷ 14 = 7

Write an equation for a parabola with endpoints of the latus rectum at (-2, 3) and (-2, 15) and the directrix at x = 4.

Answers

Given:

The endpoints of the latus rectum at (-2, 3) and (-2, 15).

The directrix at x = 4.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The equation of the parabola is:

[tex](y-k)^2=4p(x-h)[/tex]                   ...(1)

Where, [tex]x=h-p[/tex] is directrix and [tex](h+p,k\pm |2p|),p<0[/tex] are the end point of the latus rectum.

The directrix at x = 4. So,

[tex]h-p=4[/tex]               ...(i)

The endpoints of the latus rectum at (-2, 3) and (-2, 15). So,

[tex](h+p,k-|2p|)=(-2,3)[/tex]

[tex](h+p,k+|2p|)=(-2,15)[/tex]

Now,

[tex]h+p=-2[/tex]              ...(ii)

[tex]k-2p=3[/tex]              ...(iii)

[tex]k+2p=15[/tex]           ...(iv)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]2h=2[/tex]

[tex]h=1[/tex]

Putting [tex]h=1[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]1-p=4[/tex]

[tex]-p=4-1[/tex]

[tex]-p=3[/tex]

[tex]p=-3[/tex]

Putting [tex]p=-3[/tex] in (iii), we get

[tex]k-|2(-3)|=3[/tex]

[tex]k-6=3[/tex]

[tex]k=3+6[/tex]

[tex]k=9[/tex]

Putting [tex]h=1,p=-3,k=9[/tex] in (1), we get

[tex](y-(9))^2=4(-3)(x-1)[/tex]

[tex](y-9)^2=-12(x-1)[/tex]

Therefore, the required equation of the parabola is [tex](y-9)^2=-12(x-1)[/tex].

Find the equation of the line which is perpendicular to the line.
(a) with equcation y=5x-4 and passes through (0,7)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{5} x + 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope -intercept form:

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept.

Since the given equation is already in the slope-intercept form, we can identify its slope by looking at the coefficient of x.

Slope of given line= 5

The product of the gradients of two perpendicular lines is -1.

m(5)= -1

[tex]m = - \frac{1}{5} [/tex]

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

[tex]y = - \frac{1}{5} x + c[/tex]

Substitute a pair of coordinates to find the value of c.

when x= 0, y= 7,

[tex]7 = - \frac{1}{5} (0) + c[/tex]

c= 7

Thus, the equation of the line is y= -⅕x +7.
