Answer:

a.

x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )

b. x = -8 and y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete. I will type the complete question below before giving my solution.

For integers a, b, c, consider the linear Diophantine equation

ax+by=c

Suppose integers x0 and yo satisfy the equation; that is,

ax_0+by_0 = c

what other values

x = x_0+h and y=y_0+k

also satisfy ax + by = c? Formulate a conjecture that answers this question.

Devise some numerical examples to ground your exploration. For example, 6(-3) + 15*2 = 12.

Can you find other integers x and y such that 6x + 15y = 12?

How many other pairs of integers x and y can you find ?

Can you find infinitely many other solutions?

From the Extended Euclidean Algorithm, given any integers a and b, integers s and t can be found such that

as+bt=gcd(a,b)

the numbers s and t are not unique, but you only need one pair. Once s and t are found, since we are assuming that gcd(a,b) divides c, there exists an integer k such that gcd(a,b)k = c.

Multiplying as + bt = gcd(a,b) through by k you get

a(sk) + b(tk) = gcd(a,b)k = c

So this gives one solution, with x = sk and y = tk.

Now assuming that ax1 + by1 = c is a solution, and ax + by = c is some other solution. Taking the difference between the two, we get

a(x_1-x) + b(y_1-y)=0

Therefore,

a(x_1-x) = b(y-y_1)

This means that a divides b(y−y1), and therefore a/gcd(a,b) divides y−y1. Hence,

y = y_1+r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)})  for some integer r. Substituting into the equation

a(x_1-x)=rb(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )\\gcd(a, b)*a(x_1-x)=rba

or

x = x_1-r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )

Thus if ax1 + by1 = c is any solution, then all solutions are of the form

x = x_1+r(\frac{b}{gcd(a, b)} )\\y=y_1-r(\frac{a}{gcd(a, b)} )

In order to find all integer solutions to 6x + 15y = 12

we first use the Euclidean algorithm to find gcd(15,6); the parenthetical equation is how we will use this equality after we complete the computation.

15 = 6*2+3\\6=3*2+0

Therefore gcd(6,15) = 3. Since 3|12, the equation has integral solutions.

We then find a way of representing 3 as a linear combination of 6 and 15, using the Euclidean algorithm computation and the equalities, we have,

3 = 15-6*2

Because 4 multiplies 3 to give 12, we multiply by 4

12 = 15*4-6*8

So one solution is

x=-8 & y = 4

All other solutions will have the form

x=-8+\frac{15r}{3} = -8+5r\\y=4-\frac{6r}{3} =4-2r

where r ∈ Ζ

Hence by putting r values, we get many (x, y)

What is the equation of a vertical ellipse with a major axis= 20 and a minor axis = 14?​
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

\bold{\text{Answer:  b.}\quad \dfrac{y^2}{100}+\dfrac{x^2}{49}=1}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The ellipse is vertical so y has the biggest radius.

Major axis (y) = 20 so the y-radius is 20/2 = 10

Minor axis (x) = 14 so the x-radius is 14/2 = 7

The equation of an ellipse is:   \dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1   where

  • (h, k) is the center of the ellipse
  • a is the x-radius
  • b is the y-radius

Given: a = 7, b = 10

Assume: (h, k) = (0, 0)

\dfrac{(x-0)^2}{7^2}+\dfrac{(y-0)^2}{10^2}=1\\\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{49}+\dfrac{y^2}{100}=1\\\\\\\longrightarrow \dfrac{y^2}{100}+\dfrac{x^2}{49}=1
