The focal points of an ellipse are (12, 0) and (−12, 0), and the point (12, 7) is on the ellipse. Find the points where this cur

ve intersects the coordinate axes.

Answer:

x - ( 16 , 0 ) , ( -16 , 0 )

y - ( 0 ,  4√7 ) , ( 0 , -4√7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- The sum of the distances from a point on the ellipse to its foci is constant. You have both foci and a point, so you can find the sum of the distances.

-Then you can find the vertices since they are points on the ellipse on the x-axis whose sum of distances to the foci are that value.

- The 7 in y coordinate of (12,7) is the length of semi-latus rectum. Also c is 12:

                                     c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Where, a: x-intercept

            b: y-intercept

- The length of semi-latus rectum is given by:

                                     b^2 = 7*a

- Substitute latus rectum expression in the first one we get:

                                    c^2 = a^2 + 7a

                                    a^2 + 7a - 144 = 0

                                    ( a - 16 ) * ( a - 9 ) = 0

                                    a = +/- ( 16 )

- The y-intercept we will use latus rectum expression again:

                                    b = +/- √(7*16)

                                    b = +/- 4√7

- The intercepts are:

                                    x - ( 16 , 0 ) , ( -16 , 0 )

                                    y - ( 0 ,  4√7 ) , ( 0 , -4√7)

Sonja [21]

Answer:

B. 19

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = x^2+3

Let x=4

g(4) = 4^2 +3

       = 16+3

       =19

You and your friend are playing a game where you spin a circular spinner with nine numbered sections of equal size. In this game
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

a) The subset consists of all the outcomes where your friend loses or there is a tie.

d) The subset consists of all the outcomes where you do not lose.

Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subset  A= { 1,3,4,6,7,9} removes 2,5 and 8 from the sample space of the game. Those three numbers are the ones for which your friend wins, therefore, the subset consists of all outcomes for which you either win (your friend loses) or there is a tie.

Checking the given alternatives, there are actually two correct ones. Alternatives a) and d) describe the same sample space (you not losing = your friend not winning).

Therefore, the two possible answers are:

a) The subset consists of all the outcomes where your friend loses or there is a tie.

d) The subset consists of all the outcomes where you do not lose.
