What conic section degenerates into a line?

Mathematics
1 answer:
andrew11 [14]3 years ago
5 0
<h3>Answer: A) parabola</h3>

Some degenerate parabola cases form a single straight line, while other cases form one pair of parallel lines.

A degenerate hyperbola forms two lines that intersect at the vertex of the cone. We can rule out choice B.

A degenerate circle is a single point, so we can rule out choice C.

A degenerate ellipse is also a single point. Any circle is an ellipse (but not the other way around). We can rule out choice D.

Hey there!!

How do we find the equation of a line ?

Ans : We take the slope and the y - intercept and get them together.

How do you find slopes?

Ans - In order to find slop, we will need to use the slop formula which is

( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

The two points shown in the above question are

( 4 , -8 ) and ( 8 , 5 )

y₂ = 5 , y₁ = -8 and x₂ = 8 , x₁ = 4

Now plug in the values:

( 5 + 8 ) / ( 8 - 5 )

13 / 3

Hence, the slope is 13/3

The basic formula : y = mx + b

Where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

We have found the slope, hence, the formula would become

... y = 13/3 x + b

Now take a coordinate and substitute it .

I will take ( 8 , 5 )

x = 8 and y = 5

Now plug in the values

... 5 = 13/3 × 5 + b

... 5 = 65/3 + b

Subtract 65/3 on both sides

... 5 - 65/3 = b

... -50/3 = b

Hence, the y-intercept is -50/3

Now plug in all the values to get the total equation...

The final equation : y = 13x/3 - 50/3

... y = 13x - 50 / 3

Hope my answer helps!!

Evaluate the function g(x) = 8x+16 when x=-3,0, and 8
andriy [413]

Answer:

g(x)=8x+16 for x= -3, 0, and 8.

g(-3) = -8

g(0)= 16

g(8)= 80

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Plugin the given numbers.

g(-3)= 8(-3) + 16

g(0)= 8(0) + 16

g(8)= 8(8) + 16

Step 2. Solve the equations.

g(-3)= -24 + 16   Multiplied -3 and 8.

g(-3)= -8             Added -24 and 16

g(0)= 0+16         Multiplied 0 and 8.

g(0)= 16             Added 16 and 0.

g(8)= 64+16      Multiplied 8 and 8.

g(8)= 80            Added 64 and 16.

The ratio of peppermint to chocolate is 5:3 and the ratio of peppermints to gummies is 3:4. What so the ratio of chocolates to g
Liula [17]
Peppermint to chocolate is 5:3, so5p=3c, and peppermints to gummies is 3:4, so 3p = 4g.

5p = 3c
*3     *3

15p = 9c
---------------
3p = 4g
*5      *5
15p = 20g
---------------
15p = 9c
15p = 20g
9c = 20g, so chocolates to gummies is 9:20.

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. if the perimeter is 72 meters, find the length and width of the rectangle
madam [21]
Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.
