The rate of ascent is also known as the slope. To find the slope, we will follow the steps below.

Step 1) Choose two points on the line

Point 1: (4, 500)

Point 2: (8, 1000)

Step 2) Use the slope formula to find the slope

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (1000 - 500) / (8 - 4)

m = 500 / 4

m = 125 feet per minute

Hope this helps! :)

Identify the ellipses, represented by equations, whose eccentricities are less than 0.5

ozzi

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, we cannot see the ellipse equations.

The eccentric of an ellipse is given by:

$e = \frac{c}{a}$

Assuming the equations are:

$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{25} + \frac{ {y}^{2} }{16} = 1$

Then a²=25 and b²=16

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

${c}^{2} = 25 - 16$

${c}^{2} = {3}^{2}$

$c = 3$

The eccentricity is:

$e = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6$

If the ellipse has equation,

$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {5}^{2} } + \frac{ {y}^{2} }{ {3}^{2} } = 1$

then the this time, we have a=5 and b=3.

This means that:

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

${c}^{2} = {5}^{2} - {3}^{2}$

${c}^{2} = {4}^{2}$

$c = 4$

$c = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8$

So all you have to do is multiply 400 times 400 which is 160,000 and divide 169,000 to 2 which is 80,000
