Answer:

a = 3/2
b = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{\sqrt{5}-1}{\sqrt{5}+1}=\dfrac{(\sqrt{5}-1)(\sqrt{5}-1)}{(\sqrt{5}+1)(\sqrt{5}-1)}\\\\=\dfrac{5-2\sqrt{5}+1}{5-1}=\dfrac{6-2\sqrt{5}}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{5}$

Comparing this to the form a+b√5, we see that ...

a = 3/2

b = -1/2

Answer:

$\frac{x^{2}}{144}+\frac{y^{2}}{79.995}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse centered a point (h,k) has the following formula:

$\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$

The distance between foci is:

$2\cdot c = \sqrt{[8-(-8)]^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$2\cdot c = 16$

$c = 8$

The center of the ellipse is:

$C(x,y) = (-8 + 8, 0 + 0)$

$C(x,y) = (0,0)$

The known vertex is on the horizontal axis of the ellipse. Then, the length of the semi-major axis is:

$a = \sqrt{(12-0)^{2}+(0-0)^{2}}$

$a= 12$

The length of the semi-minor axis is given by the following expression:

$c =\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}$

$b = \sqrt{a^{2}-c^{2}}$

$b = \sqrt{12^{2}-8^{2}}$

$b \approx 8.944$

The equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{x^{2}}{144}+\frac{y^{2}}{79.995}=1$

likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 144 = x² - 12²

= (x +12)(x - 12)

a² - b² = (a + b)(a-b)
