Determine the equation of the ellipse.

Mathematics

AURORKA [14]3 years ago

Answer:

A) x²/25 + y²/9 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The major axis length is the sum of distances to the foci from the ellipse, 10. So the semi-major axis has length 10/2 = 5. The foci are on the x-axis, so the ellipse is oriented horizontally.

The semi-minor axis is the other leg of the right triangle having the focus and center as one leg, and the semi-major axis as the hypotenuse. This is obviously a 3-4-5 triangle, so the semi-minor axis length is 3.

When the ellipse is horizontal, the formula for it is ...

... (x/(semi-major axis))² + (y/(semi-minor axis))² = 1

... (x/5)² + (y/3)² = 1

... x²/25 + y²/9 = 1

A beach ball rolls off a cliff and onto the beach. The height, in feet, of the beach ball can be modeled by the function h(t)=64
Karolina [17]

Answer:

rate of change = -32 feet/second

Step-by-step explanation:

h(t) = 64 – 16t2

t = time (seconds)

Look at the start of time where t = 0

h(t) = 64 - 16 * (0) * 2 = 64 feet

Then look at the specified time where t = 1.25 seconds

h(t) = 64 - 16 * (1.25sec) * 2 = 24 feet

rate of change = rate of change y / rate of change x

x = time, y = height

rate of change = (24 - 64) / (1.25 - 0) = -32 feet/second

4. Why do people sometimes use credit to pay for items instead of just using cash?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Some people use credit to pay for items instead of just using cash so they do not have to carry money around and so it is easier. ... It is preferable to receive a low interest rate so you do not have to pay high amounts. Sometimes, lenders allow or require a down payment before they extend you the loan.
