Explanation:

The equation of comet E is given below as

\frac{(y+16)^2}{400}+\frac{x^2}{144}=1

The equation of comet H is modelled below as

\frac{(y+13)^2}{144}-\frac{x^2}{25}=1

Given, that the Sun is located at the origin.

This is an equation of an ellipse. So, the path traveled by Comet e is an elliptic path.

Comparing with the Standard equation of ellipse: below,we will have

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

Whise center is

\begin{gathered} center=(h,k) \\ vertices=(h\pm a,0) \end{gathered}

By comparing coefficient, we will have

\begin{gathered} a^2=144 \\ a=12 \\ b^2=400 \\ b=20 \\ k=-16 \\ h=0 \\ (h,k)=(0,-16) \end{gathered}

Hence,

The vertex of comet E will be

\begin{gathered} (h\pm a,0) \\ (0+12,0),(0-12,0) \\ (12,0),(-12,0) \end{gathered}

The vertex of comet E is

(12,0),(-12,0)

Part C:

It is the foci forboth comets

\begin{gathered} cometE: \\ c=\sqrt{b^2-a^2} \\ c=\sqrt{400-144} \\ c=\sqrt{256} \\ c=16 \\  \\ For\text{ comet F:} \\ c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2} \\ c=\sqrt{144+25} \\ c=\sqrt{169} \\ c=13 \end{gathered}

Hence,

The foci will be

\begin{gathered} (16\pm16,0) \\ cometE \\ (0,0),(32,0) \\ cometF: \\ (13\pm13,0) \\ (0,0),(26,0) \end{gathered}

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The slope would be 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula Y=mx+b. m always represents the slope and the b is the intercept. Therefore the slope of this would be 5/2.

Pls solve: 6 - 2/9x = 8
Inga [223]

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2/9x = 8

Subtract 6 from each side

6-6 - 2/9x = 8-6

-2/9 x = 2

Multiply each side by -9/2 to isolate x

-9/2 * -2/9x = 2*-9/2

x = -9
