<span>The two points that are most distant from (-1,0) are exactly (1/3, 4sqrt(2)/3) and (1/3, -4sqrt(2)/3) approximately (0.3333333, 1.885618) and (0.3333333, -1.885618) Rewriting to express Y as a function of X, we get 4x^2 + y^2 = 4 y^2 = 4 - 4x^2 y = +/- sqrt(4 - 4x^2) So that indicates that the range of values for X is -1 to 1. Also the range of values for Y is from -2 to 2. Additionally, the ellipse is centered upon the origin and is symmetrical to both the X and Y axis. So let's just look at the positive Y values and upon finding the maximum distance, simply reflect that point across the X axis. So y = sqrt(4-4x^2) distance is sqrt((x + 1)^2 + sqrt(4-4x^2)^2) =sqrt(x^2 + 2x + 1 + 4 - 4x^2) =sqrt(-3x^2 + 2x + 5) And to simplify things, the maximum distance will also have the maximum squared distance, so square the equation, giving -3x^2 + 2x + 5 Now the maximum will happen where the first derivative is equal to 0, so calculate the first derivative. d = -3x^2 + 2x + 5 d' = -6x + 2 And set d' to 0 and solve for x, so 0 = -6x + 2 -2 = -6x 1/3 = x So the furthest point will be where X = 1/3. Calculate those points using (1) above. y = +/- sqrt(4 - 4x^2) y = +/- sqrt(4 - 4(1/3)^2) y = +/- sqrt(4 - 4(1/9)) y = +/- sqrt(4 - 4/9) y = +/- sqrt(3 5/9) y = +/- sqrt(32)/sqrt(9) y = +/- 4sqrt(2)/3 y is approximately +/- 1.885618</span>

I want to know what g is
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2(5-4g) + 3g - 11 = 5(g-3) - 12 - 3g (remove the parantheses)

10 - 8g + 3g - 11 = 5g - 15 - 12 -3g (Calculate and collect like terms)

-1 - 5g = 2g - 27 (move the terms)

-5g -2g = 27 + 1  (collect like terms and calculate)

-7g = -26 (divide both sides)

so G = 26/7

A cell phone tower covers a circular area with a radius of 15 miles. You are at a location that is 11 miles west and 12 miles so
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

No you do not.

This is because we can use Pythagoras Theorem to show that our location sits outside the 15 mile radius of the cell tower.

To work is out you would write the equation

{11}^{2}  +  {12}^{2}  = 265

Then to work out the Hypotheses you would

\sqrt{265}  = 16.2788205961

Which proves that the location is outside of the 15 Mile radius of the cell tower.
