Answer:
The answer to your question is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Foci (-2, 2) (4, 2)
Major axis = 10
Process
1.- Plot the foci to determine if the ellipse is vertical or horizontal. See the picture below.
From the graph we conclude that it is a horizontal ellipse.
2.- Determine the foci axis (distance between the foci)
2c = 6
c = 6/2
c = 3
3.- Determine a
2a = 10
a = 10/2
a = 5
4.- Determine b using the Pythagorean theorem
a² = b² + c²
-Solve for b
b² = a² - c²
b² = 5² - 3²
b² = 25 - 9
b² = 16
b = 4
5.- Find the center (1, 2) From the graph, it is in the middle of the foci
6.- Find the equation of the ellipse
It seems to me that the answer is c!<3
The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
