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

(3^n*3^2)^4=3^28<br> Enter the value of n for the equation<br> N= ?
maksim [4K]
Hello! And thank you for your question!

Use Pemdas to get

3^(n+2)*4=3^28

Rewrite the equation:

3^4(n+2) = 3^28

Cancel the base of 3:

4(n + 2) = 28

Then divide 4 on both sides:

2 + n = 28/4

Simplify 28/4:

2 + n = 7

Subtract 2 on both sides:

n = 7 - 2

Finally simplify 7 - 2:

n = 5

Final Answer:

n = 5

Rewrite (2x^2+13x+26) / x+4 in the form q(x)+r(x)/b(x) . Then find q(x) and r(x). In the rewritten expression, q(x) is_____and r
likoan [24]

The value of q(x) is 2 x+5

The value of r(x) is 6

Explanation:

The given expression is \frac{2 x^{2}+13 x+26}{x+4}

We need to rewrite the expression in the form of q(x)+\frac{r(x)}{b(x)}

Simplifying the expression, we get,

\frac{2 x^{2}+8 x+5x+26}{x+4}

Separating the fractions, we have,

\frac{2 x^{2}+8 x}{x+4}+\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}

2 x+\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}  -----------(1)

Now, we shall further simplify the term \frac{5 x+26}{x+4} , we get,

\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=\frac{5 x+20}{x+4}+\frac{6}{x+4}

Common out 5 from the numerator, we have,

\frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=5+\frac{6}{x+4}

Substituting the value \frac{5 x+26}{x+4}=5+\frac{6}{x+4} in the equation(1), we get,

2 x+5+\frac{6}{x+1}

Thus, the expression \frac{2 x^{2}+13 x+26}{x+4}=2 x+5+\frac{6}{x+1} is in the form of q(x)+\frac{r(x)}{b(x)}

Hence, we have,

q(x)=2 x+5

r(x)=6 and

b(x)=x+4
