Nabil is writing a science fiction novel that takes place in another galaxy. In her galaxy, all the planets travel in an ellipti

cal orbit around their star. The majority of the plot of Nabil’s story takes place on the planet Tanus which orbits a star named Ini. The length of Tanus’ major axis is 150 million miles and the length of its minor axis is 75 million miles. The star Ini is located at a focus of the elliptical orbit.
Suppose that Nabil would like to create a model that shows the path of Tanus’ orbit around Ini. For ease of programming, Nabil would like Ini to be located at the coordinates (0, 0). Write an equation that models the movement of Tanus around Ini, where Ini is located at (0, 0). Explain the changes to your equation.

The equation that models the movement of Tanus around Ini, where Ini is located at (0, 0) is x^2/75^2 + y^2/37.5^2 = 1

<h3>Write an equation that models the movement of Tanus around Ini, where Ini is located at (0, 0)</h3>

The given parameters are:

The length of Tanus’ major axis = 150 million miles

The length of its minor axis = 75 million miles

The center of the ellipse = (0, 0) --- the location of Ini

When the coordinate of the center of an ellipse is (0, 0), the standard form of the ellipse is represented as:

x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

Where:

Length of the major axis = 2a

Length of the minor axis = 2b

This means that:

2a = 150 and 2b = 75

Divide both sides of 2a = 150 by 2

a = 75

Divide both sides of 2b = 75 by 2

b = 37.5

Substitute b = 37.5 and a = 75 in the standard form of the ellipse represented as: x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

x^2/75^2 + y^2/37.5^2 = 1

Hence, the equation that models the movement of Tanus around Ini, where Ini is located at (0, 0) is x^2/75^2 + y^2/37.5^2 = 1

What is the d value of the following arithmetic sequence? 5, 2, -1, -4, -7,…
Andrew [12]
The d value is going to be -3 because you have to compute the differences of all the adjacent terms. 2-5=-3    -1-2=-3     -4-(-1)=-3   -7-(-4)=-3   The difference between all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to -3

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

y= -4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

where x=-1, y=8, and m=-4

8=(-4)(-1)+b

8=4+b

4=b

Thus, y= -4x+4

A bag contains:
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

3/50

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 3 = 20 marbles in the bag

P(draw a black) = 6/20 = 3/10

If the black marble is replaced, then there are 20 marbles in the bag again.

P(draw a blue) = 4/20 = 1/5

P(draw a black and blue with replacement) = (3/10)(1/5) = 3/50

Please help with numbers 1 and 2 !!!
lesantik [10]
Well, this is a stem and leaf problem. 

The numbers are 20, 28, 29, 29, 31, 32, 36, 41, and 42. 

In order to solve for the mean, we find the average and we add the numbers together and divide by 9(there are 9 numbers). 

The mean is 32.
The median is the middle number, or 31.
