Answer: A= -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
c=7
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem says that 8 less than 4 times c is less than twenty, so we can first show 8 less than 20.
4c -( I did this because it said 4 times the number c)
Then, we show 8 less than that.
4c-8
It says it is twenty, and that means it equals twenty.
4c-8=20
Now we solve!
4c-8=20
+8 +8
*we add 8 to both sides*
4c=28
*we divide both sides by 4 since we want to isolate c*
c=28/4
c=7
I hope this helped!
The negatives cancel to form a positive. The answer is
We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1
the answer isy²/289+x²/225=1see the attached figure
