An equation for the ellipse ( standard form ):
x²/a²  +  y²/b² = 1
Here is:  a - semi-major axis and b - semi-minor axis.
Radius of the moon is 1,000 km and the distance from the surface of the moon to the satellite varies from 953 km to 466 km.
a = 1,000 + 953 = 1,953 km
b = 1,000 + 466 = 1,466 km
Answer:
The equation is  x² / 1,953²  + y² / 1,466² = 1
or: x²/3,814,209  +   y²/2,149,156  = 1

If the value of y varies directly with x and y= -1 when x=3, find y if x=9
Zolol [24]

y = - 3

Since y varies directly as x then

y = kx ← ( k is the constant of variation )

to find k use y = - 1 when x = 3

k = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{-1}{3} = - \frac{1}{3}

hence y = - \frac{1}{3} x

when x = 9, then

y = - \frac{1}{3} × 9 = - 3

A game-show spinner has these odds of stopping on particular dollar values: 40% for $5, 25% for $100, 20% for $500, and 15% for
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

13÷ 23

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the odds of player winning is shown below;

For $5 it is 40%

And, for $100 it is 25%

so for total it is

= 40% + 25%

= 65%

And, the total percentage is 100%

So, the odds in favor is

65:100

13:20

Now for winning it would be 13÷ 23
