Find the equation of the ellipse with the following properties.

1 answer:

6 0

Equation of an ellipse:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1
Since it passes through the origin (0,0) , then h = k = 0 hence the equation:
(x-0)²/a² + (y-0)²/b² = 1
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1

2a = major axis = 2.|5| + |-5| = 10. then a = 5 and a² = 25
2b = minor axis = 2.|3| + |-3| = 6. then b = 3 and b² = 9

Then the final equation is:
x²/25 + y²/9 = 1

Convert 8^12 = 3x - 5 to corresponding logarithmic function.

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$8^{12}=3x-5\quad :\quad x=\frac{8^{12}+5}{3}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal}:\quad x=22906492247\right)$

$8^{12}=3x-5\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}5\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\3x-5+5=8^{12}+5\\Simplify\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:} 3\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{8^{12}}{3}+\frac{5}{3}\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\x=\frac{8^{12}+5}{3}$

What is the slope Of a line that passes through the points (9,8) and (2,3)?

tresset_1 [31]

$(\stackrel{x_1}{9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{8}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{9}}}\implies \cfrac{-5}{-7}\implies \cfrac{5}{7}$

Solve the formula for v1

Oksanka [162]

So firstly, multiply both sides by t: $ta=v_1-v_0$

Next, add both sides by v0, and your answer will be: $ta+v_0=v_1$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! what are the values of a and b so the system of equations has infinitely many solutions?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a = 6

b = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

They both need to have the same slope.

The slope in the first equation is 6

That means that the second equation must have a = 6

They both need to have the same y intercept

The second equation has a y intercept of 3/4

Therefore b in the first equation, must be 3/4

Find the simplified product

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The answer is $-30x^{2} \sqrt{2x}$ , or the first option.

The last option isn't correct for this answer, even though it is correct mathematically. This is because it wants the fully simplified version, so the 5o squared would turn into a 5 and a 2, with the 5 multiplying the -6, and the 2 remaining underneath the square root.
