Let's go though the choices.
Major axis will get shorter. TRUE, CHECK ME
As the plane moves closer to the vertex the ellipse stays the same shape but shrinks.
Ellipse will become a circle. FALSE
As long as the plane is tilted, the ellipse can't be a circle.
Ellipse will degenerate to a point. TRUE, CHECK ME
Eventually the plane gets to the vertex, at which point (ha!) we have a single point.
Nappes? Is that a word? FALSE
The plane needs a steeper angle, steeper than the generators, before it can pass through both halves.
The generators are the lines through the vertex that form the cone. The plane isn't steep enough to hold any of them. FALSE
B) negative. Is the answer
did you ever get the answer? taking the thing rn help!!
You have two equations.
since the second is already isolated, sub in x-4 for every y in equation 1 so that
![x^{2} - 4 [(x-4)^{2}] =16 ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20x%5E%7B2%7D%20-%204%20%5B%28x-4%29%5E%7B2%7D%5D%20%3D16%0A%20)
expand, collect like terms, factor to find x, then plug x value back into original equation to find y
Answer:
a) 52 ounces
b) 24 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
A:There are 16 ounces in a pound. Thus, you can simply multiply 3.25 by 16 to get 52.
B: Simply multiply 0.15 * 20 to get 3. Then multiply 3 by 8 to get 24.(8 pints per gallon)
Hope it helps <3
