Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation               25x² + 64y² = 1600

Process

1.- Divide all the equation by 1600

                             25x²/1600 + 64y²/ 1600 = 1600/1600

-Simplify

                              x²/64 + y²/ 25 = 1

2.- Equation of a horizontal ellipse

                             \frac{x^{2} }{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1

3.- Find a, b and c

    a² = 64             a = 8

    b² = 25             b = 5

-Calculate c with the Pythagorean theorem

                   a² = b² + c²

-Solve for c

                   c² = a² - b²

-Substitution

                   c² = 8² - 5²

-Simplification

                  c² = 64 - 25

                  c² = 39

-Result

                  c = √13

4.- Find the center

          C = (0, 0)

5.- Find the vertices

          V1 = (-8, 0)     V2 = (8, 0)

6.- Find the foci

          F1 = (-√13, 0)   F2 = (√13, 0)

Find negative x when x is negative seven
Free_Kalibri [48]
Thus, we multiply the numbers together as we normally would, and then put a negative sign in front of our answer. So, 4 x -3 = -12. Please note that this also works when the negativenumber comes first and the positive number is second. For example, you may see it written -3 x 4, but don't get confused

Which is the least expensive per oz? 12 oz for $5.28 or 18 oz for $7.96. round to the nearest cent?
blondinia [14]
5.28 / 12 = 0.44 per oz
7.96 / 18 = 0.4422 rounds to 0.44 per oz

technically, by rounding to the nearest cent, they are the same cost.

The angle of elevation from a buoy in the water to the top of a lighthouse is 68degrees. If a buoy is 300 ft from the base of th
Katen [24]

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is 742.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h -----> the height of the lighthouse

we know that

The tangent of angle of 68 degrees is equal to divide the height of the lighthouse by the horizontal distance from the buoy to the base of lighthouse

so

tan(68\°)=\frac{h}{300}

Solve for h

h=(300)tan(68\°)=742.5\ ft

HURRY!!!!<br> What is the equation of the line shown in this graph?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is

x = c

Where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 2, - 3) and (- 2, 2)

Both of these points have an x- coordinate of - 2, thus

x = - 2 ← equation of line
