Answer:

Eccentricity = 6

Type of conic section; Hyperbola

Directrix; x = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polar equation of the conic section is in standard form;

The eccentricity is given by the coefficient of cos theta in which case this would be the value 6. Therefore, the eccentricity of the this conic section is 6.

The eccentricity is clearly greater than 1, implying that the conic section is a Hyperbola.

Since the conic section is in standard form, the numerator is the product of eccentricity and the value of the directrix, that is;

e*d = 9

6*d = 9

d = 3/2.

Since the denominator has a plus sign then the hyperbola opens towards the left and thus the equation of its directrix is;

x = 3/2

Answer: One POSSIBLE answer is (0,9)

Step-by-step explanation: This may look hard but it's actually super easy. All you have to do is substitute a value for x and see what you get as the y value. The first thing I would do is rearrange the equation so that the equation is in the format y = something. So the first thing you should do is subtract 6x from both sides of the equation and you should get -y=-6x+9. Right now, the y is being multiplied by -1, and to undo multiplication, you have to divide. So divide both sides of the equation by -1 (remember, what you do on one side of the equation, YOU HAVE TO DO THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER SIDE). So your new equation would be y=6x-9. Then, all you have to do is substitute a value for x and see what you get for y (x is basically the input and whatever you get for y is the output). S for example, let's say that x=0. So substitute a 0 in the equation wherever you see an x. So in this case, you would get y=(6x0)+9. Then you just simplify. So 6x0 is 0 and 0+9=9 So y=9

TO RECAP: Rearrange the equation so that the equation is in the format y = something. Then, input any number for x, and whatever you get for y is what you put in the brackets as your y value for your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Find the inverse of the function.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

A) $f^{-1}(n)= (n+2)^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(n) = \sqrt[3]{n} -2$

$y = \sqrt[3]{n} -2$

$y = n^{1/3}-2$

$n = y^{1/3} -2$

$n + 2 = y^{1/3}$

$y = (n + 2) ^3$

$f^{-1}(n) = (n + 2)^3$

Hope this helps!

Use algebraic means to show that x^2 + y^2 = 8 is not a function. Explain your process.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

For a single value of x function has more than one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function: A relationship between a set of inputs and a set of possible outputs, where exactly one output is associated with each input.

It means for an equation to represent a function any single value of x there should be only one corresponding value of y which satisfies the equation.

Now consider the given equation.

$x^2 + y^2 = 8$

If we put x=0 then we get two value of y i.e $\sqrt8$ and $-\sqrt8$ which satisfy the equation and therefore the equation is not a function.
