Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation 2x2 + 9y2 = 18.

1 answer:

7 0

We have that
2x² + 9y² = 18------> divided by 18
so
2x² /18+ 9y²/18 = 18/18------> x/9² + y²/2 = 1

Part a)
the equation of the ellipse if of the form
(x-h)²/a²+(y-k)²/b²=1
where (h,k) is the center
in this problem
(h,k) is (0,0) ------> is the origin
a²=9------> a=3
b²=2-----> b=√2

Part b)
vertices are
(h+a,k) and (h-a,k)
(0+3,0)-----> (3,0)
(0-3,0)----> (-3,0)

Part c)
foci are
(h+c.k) and (h-c, k)
where
c²=a²-b²-----> c²=9-2-----> c²=7-----> c=√7

the foci are
(0+√7, 0)-----> (√7,0)
(0-√7,0)------> (-√7,0)

What is the value of x? 30° x4

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The value of x = 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the figure the upper half part is 30° and the lower half part is 4 x.

Also from the figure-

30° + 4 x = 90°

4 x = 90° - 30°

4 x = 60°

x = 60°/4

x = 15°

A financial talk show host claims to have a 55.3 % success rate in his investment recommendations. You collect some data over th

baherus [9]

Answer:

There is a 25.52% probability of observating 4 our fewer succesful recommendations.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each recommendation, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was a success, or it was a failure. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$p = 0.553, n = 10$

If the claim is correct and the performance of recommendations is independent, what is the probability that you would have observed 4 or fewer successful:

This is

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$
