Which is the equation of an ellipse with directrices at x = 14 and foci at (2.0) and (-2, 0)?

Answer:

$\dfrac{x^2}{8}+\dfrac{y^2}{4}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the focus, directrix, and semi-major axis is ...

foci are ±ae

directrices are ±a/e

where "a" is the length of the semi-major axis and e is the eccentricity.

Using the given focus and directrix locations, we have ...

ae = 2

a/e = 4

When we multiply these equations, we have ...

(ae)(a/e) = (2)(4)

a^2 = 8

This is the denominator of the x^2 term in the equation for an ellipse:

x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

_____

We can find b^2 from ...

ae = √(a^2 -b^2)

b^2 = (a^2 -(ae)^2) = 8 -2^2 = 4

So, our ellipse equation is ...

x^2/8 +y^2/4 = 1 . . . . . . matches the first choice

Define linear relationship

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

A linear relationship (or linear association) is a statistical term used to describe a straight-line relationship between two variables. Linear relationships can be expressed either in a graphical format or as a mathematical equation of the form y = mx + b. Linear relationships are fairly common in daily life.

Give an example of a quadratic equation with 2 + 3i as one of its solutions

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

roots are (2+3i) and (2-3i)

reqd. eq. is (x-2-3i)(x-2+3i)=0

or (x-2)²-(3i)²=0

or x²-4x+9-9i²=0

or x²-4x+9+9=0

or x²-4x+18=0

Karl’s math class is playing a number game. Each student is given a number card containing the numbers 1 to 6. The rules of the

Lena [83]

By finding the probability, we can expect that 2 out of the 30 students will win the prize.

<h3>How many of the 30 students will win the prize?</h3>

First, we should get the probability of winning this game.

Here the students select two numbers out of 6, just to make the calculations let's say that these numbers are 1 and 2.

Now, we need to get these two numbers in two balls. The probability of getting the ball with the number 1 out of the 6 balls is:

p = 1/6

The probability of getting the ball with the number 2 out of the remaining 5 balls (because we already got one) is:

q = 1/5

The joint probability is then:

P = 2*(1/6)*(1/5) = 1/15.

Where the factor 2 comes to take in account the permutations, for the case where we first draw the number 2 and then the number 1.

Then the expected number of students that will win is equal to the probability times the total number of students:

(1/15)*30 = 2

So out of the 30 students, we can expect that 2 will win.

Find the surface area of the square pyramid 8mm 6mm

bija089 [108]

Answer:

136 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=a^{2} +2a\sqrt{\frac{a^{2} }{4} } +h^{2}$

$A=6^{2} +2(6)\sqrt{\frac{6^{2} }{4} } +8^{2}$

$A=36 +12\sqrt{\frac{36 }{4} } +64$

$A=36 +12\sqrt{9 } +64$

$A=36 +12(3)+64$

$A=36 +36+64$

A = 136
