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

Mathematics

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

All of the functions shown below are either exponential growth or decay functions.
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If an exponential function is in the form of y = a(b)ˣ,

a = Initial quantity

b = Growth factor

x = Duration

Condition for exponential growth → b > 1

Condition for exponential decay → 0 < b < 1

Now we ca apply this condition in the given functions,

1). y=3.2(1+0.45)^{2x}

   Here, (1 + 0.45) = 1.45 > 1

   Therefore, It's an exponential growth.

2). y=(0.85)^{3x}

    Here, (0.85) is between 0 and 1,

    Therefore, it's an exponential decay.

3). y = (1 - 0.03)ˣ + 4

    Here, (1 - 0.03) = 0.97

    And 0 < 0.97 < 1

    Therefore, It's an exponential decay.

4). y = 0.5(1.2)ˣ + 2

    Here, 1.2 > 1

    Therefore, it's an exponential growth.

Which sequence of transformations produces R'S'T' from RST? On a coordinate plane, triangle R S T has points (0, 0), (negative 2
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle RST and another triangle R'S'T' tranformed from RST

Vertices of RST are (0, 0), (negative 2, 3), (negative 3, 1).

Vertices of R'S'T' are  (2, 0), (0, negative 3), (negative 1, negative 1).

Comparing the corresponding vertices we find that x coordinate increased by 2 while y coordinate got the different sign.

This indicates that there is both reflection and transformation horizontally to the right by 2 units

So first shifted right by 2 units so that vertices became

(2,0) (0,3) (-1,1)

Now reflected on the line y=0 i.e. x axis

New vertices are

(2,0) (0,-3) (-1,-1)
