We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then 
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1

the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1

see the attached figure

Answer:

0.105 = 10.5% probability that an accident results in a death.

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the probability that an accident results in a death?

5% of 60%(sunny)

25% of 20%(foggy)

12.5% of 20%(rainy)

So

p = 0.05*0.6 + 0.25*0.2 + 0.125*0.2 = 0.105

0.105 = 10.5% probability that an accident results in a death.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

They'll  \: be  \: on  \: the \:  circle:

(x+3)^2+(y+6)^2=25

x=1

(y+6)^2=9

y + 6 = 3

y = -3

(1,-3)

y + 6 = -3

y = -9

(1,-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Thank \:  you!!!!!!

Answer:

  a) 10(3x+2) ≤ 140; x ≤ 4

  b) no

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The area is the product of length and width. We want that product to be no greater than 140:

  10(3x +2) ≤ 140 . . . . your inequality

We can solve this by dividing by 10 first.

  3x +2 ≤ 14

  3x ≤ 12 . . . . . . subtract 2

  x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . . divide by 3; the solution to the inequality

__

b) If the length were 15, the area would be 10×15 = 150, which is greater than 140. The length cannot be 15 if the area is at most 140.

Which statements about the graph of the function f(x) = 2x^2– x – 6 are true? Select two options.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, share the answer options next time.

1)  f(x) = 2x^2– x – 6 is a quadratic function.  

2) The coefficients of this polynomial are a = 2, b = -1 and c = -6

2)  Its graph opens up.

3)  The x-value of the axis of symmetry and the vertex is x = -b / (2a), which here comes out to x = -(-1) / [2(2)], or x = 1/4

4) the y coordinate of the vertex is f(1/4), or -6 1/8

5) The vertex is at (1/4, -6 1/8)

6)  The y-intercept is at f(0):  2(0)^2 - 0 - 6 = -6  =>  (0, -6)
