Answer:
If is people and
is hot dogs, the equation is
.
Which is the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with foci on x-axis, x-intercepts +7, -7 and y-intercepts +2,
1 answer:
We know that
<span>foci on x-axis-------> is a ellipse with horizontal major axis
the equation is
(x</span>²/a²)+(y²/b²)=1
major axis is th<span>e </span>x<span>-axis with length </span><span>2<span>a
2a=14--------> a=7
</span></span>minor axis is the y<span>-axis with length </span><span>2<span>b
2b=4-----> b=2
the equation is
</span></span>(x²/a²)+(y²/b²)=1------> (x²/7²)+(y²/2²)=1-----> (x²/49)+(y²/4)=1
the answer is
(x²/49)+(y²/4)=1
