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

Explain how place value could be used to find the difference of 4.23 and 2.75
Usimov [2.4K]
Place value can be used to subtract 4.23 and 2.75 because, in order to subtract, you must line up the whole numbers together, the tenths place together, and the hundredths place together. 

Lining them up:   Whole= W   Tenths place= T   Hundredths place= H

Aly's science class was looking at bacteria through a microscope. Aly's teacher said some bacteria can be as small as 0.00365 cm
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The answer is 3.65 x 10^3 power.

Step-by-step explanation:

In scientific notation, you need only the one's place, so 36.5 would not work. I hope this helps, I know this is a day late and you probably figured it out, but just in case you didn't, here is the answer :)

Factorise each of the following algebraic expressions completely,
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given

2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term

= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)

To factor the quadratic

Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)

The factors are - 1 and - 2

Use these factors to split the k- term

1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term

= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)

1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and

2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)

(b)

Given

2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term

= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)
