Which is a closer estimate of pi? Explain your answer.
nydimaria [60]
The fraction 22/7 has a value of 3.142857, so it has the same first three digits as pi. Both 3.14 and 22/7 are approximations of pi. In fact, 22/7 is close to pi than 3.14 is. Pi is irrational. That is, the decimal expansion never ends and never repeats, so any number of decimal places we wrote out is an approximation. The approximation 3.14 is about 1/2 percent off from the true value, and the fairly well know 3.141559 is within 0.000084 percent.

Graph the ellipse with equation x squared divided by nine plus y squared divided by sixteen = 1
gladu [14]
X²/9 + y²/16 = 1

The general for mula of an ellipse is:

(x-h)²/a²  + (y-k)²/b² = 1. Since h = k = 0, this ellipse
x²/9 + y²/16 = 1
passes by the center O. (Note that a = 3 and b = 4)

Moreover sin b>a  so the majore axis is (on the y-axis) and a the minor axis (on the x-axis) [Its shape is as a vertical egg].

On a system of perpendicular axis that intercept in O., take on the x-axis 2 points A & B with respective coordinate A(3.0) and B(-3,0)
On the y-axis your report A'(0,+4) and B'(0,-4). So you have the vertex of the ellipse, then it's easy to draw it
