The answer is 12
${13}^{2} = {5}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {13}^{2} - {5}^{2} \\ b {}^{2} = 169 - 25 = 144$
$b = \sqrt{144} = 12$

good luck

Suppose you had d dollars in your bank account. You spent $22 but have at least $42 left. How much money did you have initially?

1) What left

$\boxed {d-22 \geq 42}$

*Obs: remember that left at least 42 dollars. In other words, the left over is equal or more than 42 dollars.

2) At the beginning

$d-22 \geq 42 \\ \\ \boxed {d \geq 64}$

Can I get some help please? <br><br><br> Thanks!

An ellipse (oval shape) is expressed by the following equation:

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$ where h is the x coordinate of the center and k is the y coordinate of the center. Furthermore, a is the horizontal distance from the center, and b is the vertical distance from the center. Lastly, c is the distance from the center to one of the foci (they are spaced apart equally).

We can find the foci by using $a^2 - b^2 = c^2$

36 - 11 = $c^2$

$c = \sqrt{25} = 5$

Since the k value in this case is 0, the y value of both foci are 0. Also, since h and k are both 0, we know the center of the ellipse is at the origin.

So the foci are (-5, 0) and (5, 0)

Hope this helps :)
