Write the equation of the ellipse graphed below.

Mathematics

Lana71 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a horizontally stretched ellipse.  That means that the horizontal line which is represented by the x-axis is the longer one.  The equation for this type of ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} =1

In an ellipse, the a value is ALWAYS bigger than the b value, and since the x-axis represents the longer axis, the a goes under the x-squared term.  

To solve for the h, the k, the a, and the b, we simply have to do some counting.  The center of the ellipse, the (h, k) our of equation, is sitting at (4, 6).  Put them where they belong in the equation.  The a axis (the horizontal one) is 8 units long, and the b axis (the vertical one) is 4 units long.  Square both of them and put them where they belong in the equation:

\frac{(x-4)^2}{64}+\frac{(y-6)^2}{16}  =1

There you go!

it takes 18 3/8 inches of wood to make a frame for a small picture if Ms Jones has 108 inches of wood how many frames can she ma
scZoUnD [109]
It would make 5 complete frames, and about 8/10 of another frame.
108 / 18.375 = 5.8&*)&^&%*$*
I used a calculator.
You could keep adding 18 and 3/8 over and over again until you get right under 108 if you're good at math like me, but most people would have to add 18 and 3/8 separately.

Thanks, and if you liked my answer, please consider giving me the brainliest answer, because I need 5 of them to get to the next level.
