Find an equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions.

Mathematics
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago

Answer: (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

since foci are symetrically located on x-axis about origin, the equation of the ellipse must be of the following form:

  (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) = 1, where a = semi-major axis, and b = semi-minor axis,

and:  e = eccentricity = sqrt(a^2 - b^2)/a = 0.25;  foci located at (+/- sqrt(a^2 - b^2),0) = (+/- 1.25,0)

---> sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 ---> 1.25/a = 0.25 ---> a = 1.25/0.25  ---> a = 5; and sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 = 5/4

---> a^2 - b^2 = (5/4)^2 = 25/16;  or 5^2 - b^2 = 25/16 ---> 25 - b^2 = 25/16;  

---> b^2 = 25 - (25/16) = 25[1 - 1/16] = 25(15)/16 = 375/16

---> (x^2)/25 + (y^2)/(375/16) = 1 ---> (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Hope this help...and correct it's been awhile..Let me know

How do I solve this?
KengaRu [80]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The given differential euation is

\frac{dy}{dx}=(y-5)(y+5)\\\\\frac{dy}{(y-5)(y+5)}=dx\\\\(\frac{A}{y-5}+\frac{B}{y+5})dy=dx\\\\\frac{1}{100}\cdot (\frac{10}{y-5}-\frac{10}{y+5})dy=dx\\\\\frac{1}{100}\cdot \int (\frac{10}{y-5}-\frac{10}{y+5})dy=\int dx\\\\10[ln(y-5)-ln(y+5)]=100x+10c\\\\ln(\frac{y-5}{y+5})=10x+c\\\\\frac{y-5}{y+5}=ke^{10x}

where

'k' is constant of integration whose value is obtained by the given condition that y(2)=0\\

\frac{0-5}{0+5}=ke^{20}\\\\k=\frac{-1}{e^{20}}\\\\\therefore k=-e^{-20}

Thus the solution of the differential becomes

 \frac{y-5}{y+5}=e^{10x-20}

emmasim [6.3K]
It is expected to depreciate from 4400 to 800 in 6 years. The depreciation per year is the ratio
  depreciation per year = (total depreciation) / (number of years)

The total depreciation is the change in value, so the depreciation per year is
  (4400 - 800)/6 = 600

Karen expects the vehicle to depreciate by 600 each year.
