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)

3g2+4g+1=0 solve for g
gulaghasi [49]
- - Lets solve for G.

Keep in mind: G is acting as a unknown variable, commonly used as "x"
So we need to find the variable, and then we solve for g until we get "0" for our problem.
Okay so lets start off by factoring our equation, in this case you do left first.

3g+1*g+1=0
Alright, now we can set out "o" as the equal to all of our factors.
g+1=0
And now you need to solve for that,
And you get -1 for our answer.

Final answer: g=-1

Your class sells a box of oranges to raise $500 for a field trip.You earn $6.25 for each box of oranges sold.Write and solve an
emmainna [20.7K]
To do this, find the slope, y-intercept, and your goal. 

Your goal is 500. 
Your slope is 6.25 per orange. 
Your y-intercept is 0 (you don't start out with anything.)

So, the inequality is 500 \leq 6.25x.

At Pizza pizzazz the cost of a square pizza depends on the total square inches. A small
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The difference in price between a small pizza and a medium pizza is $0.81

Step-by-step explanation:

Small pizza

Side = 5inch

Area =  25 sq.in

Cost = $4 +0.04*25

        = 4 + 1.25  = $5.25

Medium pizza

Side = 8inche

Area = 64 sq.in

Cost = 3.50 + 0.04*64 = $6.06

Difference = Medium pizza - small pizza

                  = 6.06 - 5.25

                   = $0.81
