Answer:

A&C

A. Sophia should have found the number the dimensions were multiplied by.

C. Sophia should have set up a proportion to solve for X.

Answer:

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Sophia was asked to find the original dimension of a reduced hexagon.

A smaller hexagon has a top side length of 1.2 inches and bottom side length of x inches. A larger hexagon has a top side length of 7.2 inches and bottom side length of 9 inches.

Sophia found that the enlarged hexagon’s dimensions were just 6 more than the original hexagon, thus x = 3. What was Sophia’s error?

Sophia should have found the number the dimensions were multiplied by.

Sophia should have divided 9 and 6 .

Sophia should have set up a proportion to solve for x.

Sophia should have multiplied 7.2 and 1.2.

Sophia is correct and did not make an error.

Consider the function f(x)=x3+4x2+2. find the points where the tangent line is horizontal.
lions [1.4K]
Thinking about the graph of f(x), the rate of change is zero whenever there is an extremum.

First, differentiate f(x)

f'(x)=3x^2+8x

Next, find the zeros of f'(x) by factoring.

x(3x+8)=0  \\ x= \frac{-8}{3},x=0

Now, we substitute these x-values into the original equation to find the coordinates.

What is the equation of the ellipse with foci at (5, 0), (-5, 0) and vertices (9, 0), (-9, 0)?
forsale [732]

Answer: \dfrac{x^2}{81}+\dfrac{y^2}{56}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of ellipse : \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}

Given: Vertices of ellipse : (± 9,0)

Since the vertices are of the form (± a, 0).

i.e. a=9

Thus, the major axis is along x-axis.

Also, foci of the ellipse = (±5,0)

Since, foci is of the form (± c,0), i.e. c=5

Since

c^2=a^2-b^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5^2= 9^2-b^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ b^2=81-25\\\\\Rightarrow\ b^2=56

Equation of ellipse :

\dfrac{x^2}{9^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{56}=1\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{x^2}{81}+\dfrac{y^2}{56}=1

Hence, the required equation : \dfrac{x^2}{81}+\dfrac{y^2}{56}=1
