\begin{cases}&3x + y = 6 \\&2x - 4y = 10\end{cases}

Multiply 4 to the first equation:
\begin{cases}&12x + 4y = 24 \\&2x - 4y = 10\end{cases}

ADD Equation 1 to Equation 2 and find x:
\begin{aligned}&14x =34 \\&x= 34/14 \\& x = 17/7\end{aligned}

Substitute x = 17/7 and find y:
\begin{aligned}&3x + y = 6 \\&3 (17/7) + y = 6 \\& 51/7 + y = 6 \\&y = -9/7\end{aligned}

Answer: x = 17/7, y  = -9/7

Find an equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

since foci are symetrically located on x-axis about origin, the equation of the ellipse must be of the following form:

  (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) = 1, where a = semi-major axis, and b = semi-minor axis,

and:  e = eccentricity = sqrt(a^2 - b^2)/a = 0.25;  foci located at (+/- sqrt(a^2 - b^2),0) = (+/- 1.25,0)

---> sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 ---> 1.25/a = 0.25 ---> a = 1.25/0.25  ---> a = 5; and sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 = 5/4

---> a^2 - b^2 = (5/4)^2 = 25/16;  or 5^2 - b^2 = 25/16 ---> 25 - b^2 = 25/16;  

---> b^2 = 25 - (25/16) = 25[1 - 1/16] = 25(15)/16 = 375/16

---> (x^2)/25 + (y^2)/(375/16) = 1 ---> (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Hope this help...and correct it's been awhile..Let me know
