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

The ratio of the angle measures of a triangle is 1:3:5. Find the angle measures. Then classify the triangle by its angle measure
ExtremeBDS [4]
A triangle has 180 degrees.  You can find the total sum of the ratio by adding its parts together 1+3+5 = 9  Now to find out what each part of the ratio is worth we divide the whole value (180) by the sum of the ratio parts (9)
180/9 = 20

Now we multiply each part of the ratio by 20
1 * 20 = 20
3 * 20 = 60
5 * 20 = 100

Since we have an angle greater than 90 degrees this is an obtuse triangle.

Five more than three times a number is 197. find the mlnumber
insens350 [35]

Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number is x we have the equation:-

3x + 5 = 197

Subtract 5 from both sides:-

3x = 192

x = 192/3

x = 64

a jar contains 36 marbles. it has 20 red, 12 black, and 4 green marbles. two marbles are drawn; the first is not returned before
Igoryamba
P(red) first drawn:
20/36=5/9
P(red) second drawn:
19/35

95/315 or 19/63. As a result, the probability that both marbles are red is 19/63. Hope it help!
