16x^2 + 25y^2 + 160x - 200y + 400 = 0 Rearrange and regroup.
(16x^2 + 160x) + (25y^2 - 200y ) = 0-400. Group the xs together and the ys together.
16(X^2 + 10x) + 25(y^2-8y) = -400. Factorising.
We are going to use completing the square method.
Coefficient of x in the first expression = 10.
Half of it = 1/2 * 10 = 5. (Note this value)
Square it = 5^2 = 25. (Note this value)
Coefficient of y in the second expression = -8.
Half of it = 1/2 * -8 = -4. (Note this value)
Square it = (-4)^2 = 16. (Note this value)
We are going to carry out a manipulation of completing the square with the values
25 and 16. By adding and substracting it.
16(X^2 + 10x) + 25(y^2-8y) = -400
16(X^2 + 10x + 25 -25) + 25(y^2-8y + 16 -16) = -400
Note that +25 - 25 = 0. +16 -16 = 0. So the equation is not altered.
16(X^2 + 10x + 25) -16(25) + 25(y^2-8y + 16) -25(16) = -400
16(X^2 + 10x + 25) + 25(y^2-8y + 16) = -400 +16(25) + 25(16) Transferring the terms -16(25) and -25(16)
to other side of equation. And 16*25 = 400
16(X^2 + 10x + 25) + 25(y^2-8y + 16) = 25(16)
16(X^2 + 10x + 25) + 25(y^2-8y + 16) = 400
We now complete the square by using the value when coefficient was halved.
16(x-5)^2 + 25(y-4)^2 = 400
Divide both sides of the equation by 400
(16(x-5)^2)/400 + (25(y-4)^2)/400 = 400/400 Note also that, 16*25 = 400.
((x-5)^2)/25 + ((y-4)^2)/16 = 1
((x-5)^2)/(5^2) + ((y-4)^2)/(4^2) = 1
Comparing to the general format of an ellipse.
((x-h)^2)/(a^2) + ((y-k)^2)/(b^2) = 1
Coordinates of the center = (h,k).
Comparing with above (x-5) = (x - h) , h = 5.
Comparing with above (y-k) = (y - k) , k = 4.
Therefore center = (h,k) = (5,4).
Sorry the answer came a little late. Cheers.
The greatest possible error is 0.5lb.
The GPE is one half of one unit, no matter which unit you're using or the margin of error you have.
Since we are using pounds in this case, the GPE is 0.5 pounds.
36 is the median and add them all then divide by 5 to get the mean
