If the center is at (0, 0) and the vertex is at (20, 0), then the distance, a, is the length from the center to the vertex, 20.  The distance from the center to the focus is c.  The distance from the center to the focus is 16, so c = 16.  The formula we use to find the focus is c^2=a^2-b^2.  We have our c value and our a value, so we will sub in those to find b.  16^2=20^2-b^2 and 256 = 400 - b^2.  -b^2 = -144, so b = 12.  There you go!

If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2? What if the exponent is -2?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

In the world of exponents, 4 is the number being raised by the exponent, which is 2.

Let's answer the first question:

If the base is 4, what is the value if the exponent is 2?

  • The base is 4 and the exponent is 2.  We would multiply 4 two times.

4^2= 4*4 = 16

So, it would be 16.

Let's answer the second question:

What if the exponent is -2?

<u>This is the rule for negative exponents:</u>

a^{-x}=\frac{1}{a^x}

Using this rule, we can solve 4^{-2}.

4^{-2}= \frac{1}{4^2}=\frac{1}{16}

So, our answer for the 2nd question is 1/16.
