Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the absolute value bars mean we ignore the sign of the variable
As (a) is always positive for a>0, |a| = a
For contrast, If the range were a<0 where (a) is always negative, then |a| = -a
C is the correct answer. It can’t be D because negative can’t be under radical.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
1. if you are solving using the quadratic formula. the answer is in the first picture.
2. if you are looking to completing the square the answer is in the second picture.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The equation of ellipse is

To find:
The length of the minor axis.
Solution:
The standard form of an ellipse is
...(i)
where, (h,k) is center, if a>b, then 2a is length of major axis and 2b is length of minor axis.
We have,
...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

Taking square root on both sides.

Consider only positive value of b because length cannot be negative.

Now,
Length of minor axis = 
= 
= 
So, the length of minor axis is 8 units.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
