Unknown if you wanted to be clever
on average means typically so there is data called "outliers"
Moreover it doesn't say what average percent of the day and it doesn't mention the planet, namely Earth..
there could be sloths on other planets and those other planets are likely to have different hours in the day.
When you plot the given points on a coordinate plane, you can see this is an ellipse that is vertical. The equation for this is
. Of the values a and b, a is always greater than b, so it is on our major axis, the y-axis (it's under the y-k). a is the distance from the center to the vertices. When you plotted those given points, you can see that point dead center between the foci and the vertices is the origin (0, 0). That gives us our h and k values of 0 and 0. a is the number of units from the h coordinate of 0 to the y coordinate of the vertex, so a = 12. c is the number of units from the center to the foci, so c = 11. We need to find b now using the formula for the foci which is
. We have c and a, so
and
. Now we have all the info we need to rewrite the equation:
or, simplified,
I need this answer too can someone please help us out with the right answer?!
Explanation:
Answer:
1. y = -11/4; (-2, -11/4)
2. y = -1; (0, -1)
3. y = -1/8; (1, -1/8)
4. y = 0; (8/7, 0)
5. y = 3/4; (2, 3/4)
