x/2 + 10 = -15

Subtract 10 from both sides:

x/2 = -25

Multiply both sides by 2:

x = -50

At an animal shelter there are 15dogs, 12 cats, 3 snakes and 5 parakeets . What percent of the number of cats is the number of d

madreJ [45]

Total number of animals at the shelter = 15 + 12 +3 + 5 = 35 animals.
Let the total number of animals be represented by 100%
There are 15 dogs and 12 cats so:
% Number of dogs = 15/35 x 100% = 42.86%
% Number of cats = 12/35 x 100% = 34.28%

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! In any boxplot, what percent of the data is above the 3rd quartile?

Margarita [4]

75% because a third quartile is 3/4 which is 75% which if you break each fourth down it would be 25% so then you multiply 25%x3 to get 75%

The equation for the ellipse given is 4x^2+9y^2-16x+18y-11

natita [175]

Answer:

a. a = 3, b = 2

b. The coordinate of the center is (2, -1)

c. The eccentricity of the ellipse is √5/3

d. Please see attached graph of the ellipse created with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

7. a. The given equation of the ellipse is presented as follows;

4·x² + 9·y² - 16·x + 18·y - 11

The general equation of an ellipse

$\dfrac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1$

We can write;

4·x² - 16·x + 9·y² + 18·y - 11

4·(x² - 4·x + 4) + 9·(y² + 2·y + 1) - 25 - 11

4·(x² - 4·x + 4) + 9·(y² + 2·y + 1) = 25 + 11 = 36

4·(x - 2)² + 9·(y + 1)² = 36

$\dfrac{4\cdot (x - 2)^2}{36} + \dfrac{9 \cdot (y + 1)^2}{36} = \dfrac{36}{36}$

$\therefore \dfrac{ (x - 2)^2}{9} + \dfrac{ (y + 1)^2}{4} = \dfrac{ (x - 2)^2}{3^2} + \dfrac{ (y + 1)^2}{2^2} = 1$

By comparison, a = 3, b = 2, h = 2, k = -1

b. The coordinate of the center, (h, k) = (2, -1)

c. The eccentricity of the ellipse = c/a

c² = a² - b²

∴ c² = 3² - 2² = 5

c = √5

Eccentricity = √5/3

d. Please find attached the graph of the ellipse created with MS Excel
