Answer:

15 nuts do not get found.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Of a squirrel's hidden nuts, for every 5 that get found, there are 3 that do not get found.

Total number of nuts squirrel had hidden = 40

Proportion of nuts not found to total = 3/(3+5) = 3/8

Hence out of 40, nuts not found =3/8(40) = 15 nuts.

15 nuts would not be found and 25 nuts would be found if squirrel had hidden in total 40 nuts.

This is because the proportion of found:unfound = 5:3

Hence 25:!5 =5:3 satisfies this

15 nuts are not found.

40 points!!<br> What's the equation for this ellipse?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

  (x +5)²/4 +(y +8)²/36 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of an ellipse with center (h, k) and semi-axes "a" and "b" (where "a" is in the x-direction and "b" is in the y-direction) can be written as ...

((x -h)/a)² +((y -k)/b)² = 1

Here, the center is at (h, k) = (-5, -8), and the semi-minor axis is a=2, while the semi-major axis is b=6.

The equation can be written as ...

  ((x +5)/2)² +((y +8)/6)² = 1

More conventionally, it is written ...

  (x +5)²/4 +(y +8)²/36 = 1
