What are the foci of the ellipse 8x^2+9y^2=96

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first get this into standard form of an ellipse.  That means that we divide everything by 96 so we have a 1 on the right side of the equals sign:

\frac{8x^2}{96}+\frac{9y^2}{96}=1

Doing the division simplifies this down to

\frac{x^2}{12}+\frac{y^2}{\frac{32}{3} }=1

We know from the numerators that this is an ellipse centered about the origin (its center is (0, 0).

To find the coordinates of the foci, use

c^2=a^2-b^2

For an ellipse, a is always larger than b, and the larger number is always under the x-term.  So we have a horizontally oriented ellipse.  Our a = 12 and b = 32/3.  Filling in our equation:

c^2=12^2-(\frac{32}{3})^2

and

c^2=144-\frac{1024}{9} and

c^2=\frac{272}{9}

Taking the square root of both sides and simplifying in the process gives you that

c=+/-\frac{4\sqrt{17} }{3}

So the coordinates of the foci are

(-\frac{4\sqrt{17} }{3},0)(\frac{4\sqrt{17} }{3},0)

I have the answer I just have this one question. Will all the paint fit into the bucket?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

brandon

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, there id 4 pints of green paint in the bucket.

As the green paint is made from equal amounts of yellow paint and blue paint, so, the initial amount of yellow and blue paint in the bucket  is 2 pint each.

Let x pints of yellow paint to be added to the bucket to make the desired shade.

Total amount of the paint in the bucket, after addition of  pints of yellow color become  pint, in which the ampunt of yellow color is  pints.

As, the ampunt of yellow color is 80% of the total amount of the mixture, so

So, 6 pints of yellow paint to be added to the bucket to make the desired shade.

Hence, Brandon is correct.

6r + 7 = 13 + 7r what is r
kumpel [21]

Answer:

6r+7=13+7r

6r+7=7r+13

6r+7−7r=7r+13−7r

−r+7=13

−r+7−7=13−7

−r=6

\frac{-r}{-1} = \frac{6}{-1}

r=−6

Step-by-step explanation:

:) This is the answer
