Answer: \frac{(x-4)^2}{196} +\frac{(y-1)^1}{169} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to determine if the ellipse is horizontal or vertical, which can be found by the length of the major axis.

The vertices are at (18,1) and (-10,1). The distance is 28 units.  (horiz)

The co-vertices are at (4,14) and (4,-12) The distance 26 units (vert)

The major axis is horizontal, so the standard form of the ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} =1 where (h,k) are the coordinates of the center.

To find the center, find the midpoint of the major axis (\frac{x1+x2}{2} ,\frac{y1+y2}{2} )

The center is at (4,1)

Since the major axis is 2a, a would be 28 divided by 2=14 squared : 196

The minor axis is 2b, so b would e 26/2=13 squared: 169

Inserting the center and a,b values into the standard form eq:

\frac{(x-4)^2}{196} +\frac{(y-1)^1}{169} =1

hope this helps.

A student is asked to find a polynomial f(x) of degree four with the zeros 2, -3, 0, and -7. What factors would the student mult
lord [1]

Answer:

(x-2), (x+3),x and (x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the zeros of the polynomial are 2, -3, 0 and -7.

Let’s consider a case of a quadratic equation where x = 5 is a solution. This means that x + 5 is a factor of that quadratic equation.

Now, let’s apply same approach to this polynomial. If x = 2 is a solution, then x -2 is a factor. If x = -3, then, x + 3 is a factor. If x = 0, this means x itself is a solution and lastly, if x = -7 is a solution, that means x + 7 is a factor.

Thus, the factors to multiply together are; (x-2), (x+3),x and (x + 7)

Find the volume of the figure below.
kiruha [24]

Hello!

To find the volume of a cylinder, use the formula: V = πr²h.

In the formula, r is the radius, and h is height of the figure.

In the given figure, the height of the cylinder is 8 feet and the radius is 5 feet. With those values, we can find the volume of the given figure.

V = π(5)²(8)

V = π(25)(8)

V = 200π, 628.32 (multiplied by π), 628 (multiplied by 3.14)

Therefore, the volume of this cylinder is 628.32 feet cubed.
