(a) 4
(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
The best guess to the formula using knowledge of the general formula for an ellipse is:
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
(a). An ellipse is reflectively symmetrical across both the major and minor axis. So if you can get the area of the ellipse in a quadrant, then multiplying that area by 4 would give the total area of the ellipse. So the factor of 4 is correct.
(b). The general equation for an ellipse is not suitable for a general function since it returns 2 y values for every x value. But if we restrict ourselves to just the positive value of a square root, that problem is easy to solve. So let's do so:
x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1
x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0
x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9
-(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2
9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2
sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y
y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
Answer:
We conclude that the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (12,9) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = -3/4x + 1 will be:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y = mx+b
where
Given the line
y = -3/4x + 1
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
The slope = m = -3/4
We know that a line perpendicular to another line contains a slope that is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line, such as:
slope = m = -3/4
Thus, the slope of the new perpendicular line = – 1/(-3/4) = 4/3
Using the point-slope form
where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point
substituting the values of the slope = 4/3 and the point (12, 9)
Add 9 to both sides
Therefore, we conclude that the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (12,9) and is perpendicular to the graph of y = -3/4x + 1 will be:
Answer:
-1 1/2
same as -1.5 but since you are dealing with fractions you should put it in fraction form unless told otherwise.
First you would need to find out how many 9 payments of 58$ would be and that is 522. Then you would need to subtract the 522 and the 480 and your answer would be 42$ so the interest would be 42$
