The answer would be the first choice 4+b
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
Answer:x=3
Step-by-step explanation:x squared is one x.you then add the X's to get 2x.then you subtract the five on the other side to get 2x=6.after you get that you divide both sides by 2 to get x=3
