Let us assume then that the center is the origin. If the major axis is 18, then a = 9 and a^2=81. If the minor axis is 16, then b = 8 and b^2=64. Now you can write the equation. Remember that this ellipse is vertical and so a^2 goes under y^2
Answer:
honestly,I also really didn't know the ans so I took it from internet. hope you won't mind
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
46-32 x 5/9 = 7.8
82-32x 5/9 = 27.8
Start by getting one of the equations in terms of one variable, in this case lets put the first equation in terms of y
2x+y=3 ---> y=3-2x
now we plug that into the second equation
5x-2y=12 ---> 5x-2(3-2x)=12
we can then multiply and simplify
5x-2(3-2x)=12 ---> 5x-6+4x=12 ---> 9x-6=12 ---> 9x=18 ---> x=2
we can now plug x=2 into an equation to solve for y
2(2)+y=3 ---> 4+y=3 ---> y=-1
