Answer:
x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between the semi-axes and the eccentricity of an ellipse is ...
e = √(1 -b²/a²)
In order to write the desired equation we need to find 'b' from 'e' and 'a'.
__
<h3>semi-minor axis</h3>Squaring the equation for eccentricity gives ...
e² = 1 -b²/a²
Solving for b², we have ...
b²/a² = 1 -e²
b² = a²(1 -e²)
<h3>ellipse equation</h3>Using the given values, we find ...
b² = 1472²(1 -0.056²) = 2166784(0.996864) ≈ 2159989
The desired equation is ...
x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1

Answer:
20 dimes and 2 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of dimes
y = number of quarters
minimum is greater than or equal to ≥
x+y ≥16
no more than is less than or equal to ≤ ,
value of dime is $ 0.10
value of quarter is $0.25 so
0.10x + 0.25y ≤ 3.00
Rewrite inequalities in terms of y:
y ≥16 - x
(0.25/0.25)y ≤ (3.00/0.25)-(0.10/0.25)x→
y≤12 - 0.4x
