The Answer is A
Explanation:
The standard form equation for an ellipse is:
(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1
So looking at the picture above you can see that the center of the ellipse is at the origin which is (0;0) making both h and k zero.
It is then observed that the x-intercepts are at 12 meaning a=12 and y- intercepts are at approximately square root of 95 which is 9.746... which are 'k'
So you can conclude by saying that:
x²/12² + y²/(sqrt of 95)² = 1
then giving you the answer of A which is:
x²/144 + y²/95 = 1
the answer is true because 6x multiply -2 to give -12x and 6x multiplies x² to give 6x³
We can find h by calculating the area S of the parallelogram in two ways. We can write:
. On the other hand,
. Then:
A reasonable estimate would be 3 feet
