Answer:

<u>There are 300 chapter books and 200 picture books in the children's section at the local library.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of books in the children's section at the local library = 500

Ratio 2:3 for picture books and chapter books

2. How many chapter books are in the section?

We will use the Rule of Three Simple for answering this question, this way:

Chapter books       Total books

3                                  5

x                                 500

x * 5 = 500 * 3

5x = 1,500

x = 1,500/5

x = 300

<u>There are 300 chapter books and 200 picture books in the children's section at the local library.</u>

Find the ends of the major axis and foci
poizon [28]

The ends of the major axis is = (0, ± 13) and that of the foci is: (0,±5).

<h3>What is the axis and foci about?</h3>

The term 'foci' is known to be the point at which there is the coming together of light or any other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, particles, etc.

It is also seen as the point from which they seems to go apart.

\frac{x^{2} }{144} + \frac{y^{2} }{169}  = 1

\frac{x^{2} }{12^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{13^{2} }

Hence, major axis is = (0, ± 13)

e = \sqrt{1 -\frac{12^{2} }{13^{2} } }

= 5/13

Foci is: (0± 13 x \frac{5}{13})

Foci is: (0, ±5)

Therefore, The ends of the major axis is = (0, ± 13) and that of the foci is: (0,±5).
