We have the following equation:

r= \frac{5}{3+2sin(\theta)}

If we graph this equation we realize that in fact this is an ellipse with major axis matching the y-axis. So we can recognize these characteristics:

1. Center of the ellipse: 

The midpoint C<span> of the line segment joining the foci is called the </span>center<span> of the ellipse. So in this exercise this point is as follows:
</span>
C(0, -2)

2. Length of major axis:

The line through the foci is called the major axis<span>, so in the figure if you go from -5, at the y-coordinate, and walk through this major axis to the coordinate 1, the distance you run is the length of the major axis, that is:</span>

6 \ units

3. Length of minor axis:

The line perpendicular to the foci through the center is called the minor axis. So in the figure if you go from -2, at the x-coordinate, and walk through this minor axis to the coordinate 2, the distance you run is the length of the minor axis, that is:

4 \ units

4. Foci:

Let's find c as follows:

c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}-2^{2}}=\sqrt{5}

Then the foci are:

f_{1}=(0, \sqrt{5}-2)

f_{2}=(0, -\sqrt{5}-2)

A recipe calls for 1 cup of ground almonds. How many ounces of ground almonds should you use for this recipe if 1 pint of ground
aleksley [76]

Answer: There are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

1 pint = 0.42 pounds

As we know that

1 cup = 0.5 pints

1 pound = 16 ounces

So, We need to find the number of ounces.

As 1 pint = 0.42 pounds = 0.42 × 16 = 6.72 ounces

0.5 pints is given by

6.72\times 0.5\\\\=3.36\ ounces

Hence, there are 3.36 ounces of ground almonds in 1 cup.

How does 5x + 15 = 45 <br> HELP PLZ
likoan [24]

Answer:

When finding these problems we always have to do the opposite of the operation shown.

In this case its:

5x + 15 = 45

Subtract 15 from both sides (we start off with constants and numbers that are being shown) The reason why its subtraction is because since your adding 15 to 5x the opposite of that is subtraction so use the number shown by itself and subtract it from both sides.

5x = 30

Divide by 5 on both sides since the opposite of 5x is division (only use the number that is shown) We have to get rid of all the numbers on the left.

therefore you'll be left with:

X = 6
