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

Solve the equation 3sin2 theta = sin e, for values of e between Oº and 360°
Reil [10]

Answer:

[B] 0, 19.5, 160.5, 180, 360

Step-by-step explanation:

3 sin²θ = sin θ

3 sin²θ − sin θ = 0

sin θ (3 sin θ − 1) = 0

sin θ = 0 or sin θ = ⅓

If sin θ = 0, θ = 0°, 180°, 360°.

If sin θ = ⅓, θ = 19.5°, 160.5°.

What is the value of x? I don’t understand this please help
Monica [59]

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line makes a right angle with the radius to the point of tangency. Hence this triangle is a right triangle, and x° is the complement of 36°:

x° = 90° -36° = 54°

The value of x is 54.

Find the average value of f over region
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
D is a right triangle with base length 1 and height 8, so the area of D is \dfrac12(1)(8)=4.

The average value of f(x,y) over D is given by the ratio

\dfrac{\displaystyle\iint_Df(x,y)\,\mathrm dA}{\displaystyle\iint_D\mathrm dA}

The denominator is just the area of D, which we already know. The average value is then simplified to

\displaystyle\frac74\iint_Dxy\,\mathrm dA

In the x,y-plane, we can describe the region D as all points (x,y) that lie between the lines y=0 and y=8x (the lines which coincide with the triangle's base and hypotenuse, respectively), taking 0\le x\le1. So, the integral is given by, and evaluates to,

\displaystyle\frac74\int_{x=0}^{x=1}\int_{y=0}^{y=8x}xy\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=\frac78\int_{x=0}^{x=1}xy^2\bigg|_{y=0}^{y=8x}\,\mathrm dx
=\displaystyle56\int_{x=0}^{x=1}x^3\,\mathrm dx
=14x^4\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=1}

What is the interest you will pay if you borrowed $1,250 at 4% interest for 4 years?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

$200

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating interest = principal x interest rate x time

principal is the amount borrowed = $1250

interest rate = 4%

Time =  amount of years the money is borrowed for

$1250 x 0.04 x 4 = $200

Find the solution of this system of equations.
Elenna [48]
<span>-4x + y = -25        y = 4x - 25

-6x - 6y = 0            </span>
 
-6x - 6(4x - 25) = 0
-6x - 24x + 150 = 0
-30x + 150 = 0
-30x = -150
x = 5

y = 4(5) - 25
y = 20 - 25
y = -5

(5, -5)
