The equation x2 16 + y2 9 = 1 defines an ellipse, which is graphed above. in this excercise we will approximate the area of this

ellipse. (a) to get the total area of the ellipse, we could first find the area of the part of the ellipse lying in the first quadrant, and then multiply by what factor? 4 correct: your answer is correct. (b) find the function y=f(x) that gives the curve bounding the top of the ellipse.

(a) 4 
(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)  
The best guess to the formula using knowledge of the general formula for an ellipse is: 
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1  
(a). An ellipse is reflectively symmetrical across both the major and minor axis. So if you can get the area of the ellipse in a quadrant, then multiplying that area by 4 would give the total area of the ellipse. So the factor of 4 is correct. 
 (b). The general equation for an ellipse is not suitable for a general function since it returns 2 y values for every x value. But if we restrict ourselves to just the positive value of a square root, that problem is easy to solve. So let's do so:
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
 x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0
 x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9
 -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2
 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2
 sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y
 y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)

Carla wants to start a college fund for her daughter Lila. She puts $63,000 into an account that grows at a rate of 2.55% per ye
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = 63000

r = 2.55% = 2.55/100 = 0.0255

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

Therefore, function, C(t), that represents the amount of money in the account t years after the account is opened is

C(t) = 63000(1 + 0.0255/12)^12t

C(t) = 63000(1.002125)^12t

For C(t) = 100000,

100000 = 63000(1.002125)^12t

100000/63000 = (1.002125)^12t

1.587 = 1.002125)^12t

Taking log of both sides

Log 1.587 = log 1.002125)^12t

Log 1.587 = 12tlog 1.002125)^

0.2005 = 12t × 0.00092

0.2005 = t × 0.01104

t = 0.2005/0.01104

t = 18.16 years

Determine what Descartes’ Rule of Signs says about the number of positive real roots and negative real roots for the polynomial
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Descarte's rule says that the polynomial will have the number of zeroes equal to the number of times  the sign off the coefficient changes.

For positive real roots:

P(x)=9x^3-4x^2+10

The coefficient of polynomial is:

+9 -4 +10

There is 2 time sign in changing in 1st and 2nd term and then in 2nd and 3rd term.

So,there will be 2 positive  real roots or less but even.

For negative real roots  find P(-x)

P(-x)=-(9x^3-4x^2+10)

P(-x)=-9x^3+4x^2-10

So, coefficient of above polynomial is:

-9 +4 -10

There is 2 time sign in changing in 1st and 2nd term and then in 2nd and 3rd term.

So,there will be 2 negative real roots or less but even.
