The distance from the center to where the foci is located is 8 units

<h3>How to determine the distance</h3>

The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse is given as;

c² = a² − b²

where;

  • c is the distance from the focus to center
  • a is the distance from the center to a vertex , major axis is 10 units
  • b is the distance from the center to a co-vertex, minor axis is 6 units

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse square = opposite square + adjacent square

Substitute the values into the formula

c² = 10² - 6²

Find the square

c² = 100 - 36

c² = 64

Find the square root

c = √64

c = 8

Thus, the distance from the center to where the foci is located is 8 units

Write the following equation in logarithmic form <br> a^(4b-6)=3c+d
Tomtit [17]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  (4b-6) log(a) = log (3c + d)

Discussion:

Take the log of both sides of the equation:


log ( a ^(4b-6))  = log (3c + d)  


As the log functions causes exponents to become multiplexers, this equation is the same as


(4b-6) log(a) = log (3c + d)


Thank you,
