What conic section degenerates into a line?

Mathematics

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.

A rectangle length is 8cm more than three times it’s widith. The perimeter is 128 cm find the length.
Masteriza [31]
Let x = width
<span>length is 8 cm more than three times it’s width so length = 3x + 8
</span>
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + W)
so
128 = 2(x + 3x + 8) solve for x (width)
128 = 2(4x + 8)
  64 = 4x + 8
  4x = 56
    x = 14
width = 14 cm
length = 3(14) + 8 = 50 cm

Answer:
width   = 14 cm
length  = 50 cm

Answer:

B. x < -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's put them in order from greatest to least:

  • \{-2,-5,-9,-12\}

Given our possible inequalities, we need to find the inequality that contains all of these values.

The inequality that works is x < -1, as <u>all values are less than -1.</u>

Therefore, the answer is B. x < -1.
