ANSWER

This is an ellipse. The equation is:

\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1

EXPLANATION

We have to complete the square for each variable. To do so, we have to take the first two terms and compare them with the perfect binomial squared formula,

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

For x we have to take 16x² and -32x. Since the coefficient of x is not 1, first, we have to factor out the coefficient 16,

16x^2-32x=16(x^2-2x)

Now, the first term of the expanded binomial would be x and the second term -2x. Thus, the binomial is,

(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1

To maintain the equation, we have to subtract 1,

16(x^2-2x+1-1)=16((x-1)^2-1)=16(x-1)^2-16

Now, we replace (16x² - 32x) from the given equation by this equivalent expression,

16(x-1)^2-16+9y^2+72y+16=0

The next step is to do the same for y. We have the terms 9y² + 72y. Again, since the coefficient of y² is not 1, we factor out the coefficient 9,

9y^2+72y=9(y^2+8y)

Following the same reasoning as before, we have that the perfect binomial squared is,

(y+4)^2=y^2+8y+16

Remember to subtract the independent term to maintain the equation,

9(y^2+8y)=9(y^2+8y+16-16)=9((y+4)^2-16)=9(y+4)^2-144

And now, as we did for x, replace the two terms (9y² + 72y) with this equivalent expression in the equation,

16(x-1)^2-16+9(y+4)^2-144+16=0

Add like terms,

\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2+(-16-144+16)=0 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144=0 \end{gathered}

Add 144 to both sides,

\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144+144=0+144 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2=144 \end{gathered}

As we can see, this is the equation of an ellipse. Its standard form is,

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

So the next step is to divide both sides by 144 and also write the coefficients as fractions in the denominator,

\begin{gathered} \frac{16(x-1)^2}{144}+\frac{9(y+4)^2}{144}=\frac{144}{144} \\  \\ \frac{(x-1)^2}{\frac{144}{16}}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{\frac{144}{9}}=1 \end{gathered}

Finally, we have to write the denominators as perfect squares, so we identify the values of a and b. 144 is 12², 16 is 4² and 9 is 3²,

\frac{(x-1)^2}{(\frac{12}{4})^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{(\frac{12}{3})^2}=1

Note that we can simplify a and b,

\frac{12}{4}=3\text{ and }\frac{12}{3}=4

Hence, the equation of the ellipse is,

\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1

Shelly has $175 to shop for jeans and sweaters. Each pair of jeans costs $25 and each
Ksju [112]

Answer:

3 jeans and 5 sweaters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a solid guess

However, this is a straight forward question.

175 she has to spend all of it.

To make it an even number you minus 25.

Than you have 150, minus another 50.

You have 5 more clothes to buy, and $100 left.

You use the rest to buy sweaters, therefore spending all the money and getting 8 clothing.

ryan has a mix of action and sports games for a total of 39 video games his action collection is three more than half his sports
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

He have <u>15</u> action games and <u>24</u> sports games.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ryan has a mix of action and sports games for a total of 39 video games his action collection is three more than half his sports collection.

Now, to find the number of action games and sports games.

Let the sports games be x.

As, given his action collection is three more than half his sports collection.

Thus, the action games = 3+\frac{x}{2} .

Total number of video games = 39.

So, we set an equation to get the number of action games and sports games:

x+(3+\frac{x}{2})=39

x+3+\frac{x}{2} =39

<em>Subtracting both sides by 3 we get:</em>

x+\frac{x}{2} =36

\frac{2x+x}{2}=36

\frac{3x}{2} =36

<em>Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:</em>

3x=72

<em>Dividing both sides by 3 we get:</em>

x=24.

<u>The sports games he have = 24.</u>

Now, to get the action games we substitute the value of x:

3+\frac{x}{2}

= 3+\frac{24}{2}

= 3+12

= 15.

<u>The action games he have = 15.</u>

Therefore, he have 15 action games and 24 sports games.
