Let x = the total number of pennies her piggy bank can hold.
Then 2/3x = the number of pennies she started with
Then 2/3x - 80 = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Then 1/2x = the number of pennies she has left after taking out 80 pennies.
Build the equation.

2/3x - 80 = 1/2x

Subtract 1/2x from each side of the equation.

(2/3x - 80) - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x

1/6x - 80 = 0

Add 80 to both sides of the equation.

(1/6x - 80) + 80 = 0 + 80

1/6x = 80

Divide both sides by 1/6.

(1/6x) / 1/6 = 80 / 1/6

x = 480

So, Linda's piggy bank can hold 480 pennies!

Write the standard form equation of the ellipse shown in the graph, and identify the foci.

vlada-n [284]

Answer option A

From the given graph is a Vertical ellipse

Center of ellipse = (-2,-3)

Vertices are (-2,3) and (-2,-9)

Co vertices are (-6,-3) and (2,-3)

The distance between center and vertices = 6, so a= 6

The distance between center and covertices = 4 , so b= 4

The general equation of vertical ellipse is

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

(h,k) is the center

we know center is (-2,-3)

h= -2, k = -3 , a= 6 and b = 4

The standard equation becomes

$\frac{(x+2)^2}{4^2} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{6^2}=1$

$\frac{(x+2)^2}{16} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{36}=1$

Foci are (h,k+c) and (h,k-c)

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

Plug in the a=6 and b=4

$c=\sqrt{6^2-4^2}$

$c=\sqrt{20}$

$c=2\sqrt{5}$ , we know h=-2 and k=-3

Foci are $(-2,-3+2\sqrt{5})$ and $(-2,-3-2\sqrt{5})$

Option A is correct
