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)

Mel received notice that his monthly health care rate will increase 15% next year. if mel currently pays $200 per month for heal
Volgvan
Multiply 200 by .15, since 15% is .15 as a decimal. 200 x .15 = 30. This means that his health care rate will increase by $30 next year.

Our environment is very sensitive to the amount of ozone in the upper atmosphere. The level of ozone normally found is 7.1 parts
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

t=\frac{6.6-7.1}{\frac{1.0}{\sqrt{26}}}=-2.550    

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation  

\bar X=6.6 represent the sample mean

s=1.0 represent the sample standard deviation

n=26 sample size  

\mu_o =7.1 represent the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.01 represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.  

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean is different from 7.1 ppm, the system of hypothesis would be:  

Null hypothesis:\mu = 7.1  

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 7.1  

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:  

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)  

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:  

t=\frac{6.6-7.1}{\frac{1.0}{\sqrt{26}}}=-2.550
