What is the length of the major axis of the conic section shown below?

Mathematics

sveticcg [70]3 years ago

\dfrac{(x-2)^2}{49}+\dfrac{(y+5)^2}{36}=1

The equation of a elipse:

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1

The length of the major axis is equal 2a if a > b or 2b if b > a.

We have

a^2=49\to a=\sqrt{49}=7\\\\b^2=36\to b=\sqrt{36}=6\\\\a > b

therefore the length of the major axis is equal 2 · 7 = 14.

What is the simplified form of the expression? k3 [k^7/3] -5
iragen [17]
Simplify the following:
(k^3 k^7)/3 - 5

Combine powers. (k^3 k^7)/3 = k^(7 + 3)/3:
k^(7 + 3)/3 - 5

7 + 3 = 10:
k^10/3 - 5

Put each term in k^10/3 - 5 over the common denominator 3: k^10/3 - 5 = k^10/3 - 15/3:
k^10/3 - 15/3

k^10/3 - 15/3 = (k^10 - 15)/3:
Answer: (k^10 - 15)/3

Phyllis invested 50000 dollars, a portion earning a simple interest rate of 5 percent per year and the rest earning a rate of 7
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

Let

x-----> the amount invested at 5%

50,000-x -----> the amount invested at 7%

so

t=1\ year\\ I=\$2,720\\r_1=0.05\\r_2=0.07\\P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(50,000-x)

substitute in the formula above

2,720=x(0.05*1)+(50,000-x)(0.07*1)

solve for x

2,720=0.05x+3,500-0.07x

0.07x-0.05x=3,500-2,720\\0.02x=780\\x=\$39,000

(50,000-x)=\$11,000

therefore

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

Does the value of x make the equation to 0. Why?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Since there is no value of x that will ever make this a true statement, the solution to the equation above is “no solution”. Be careful that you do not confuse the solution x = 0 with “no solution”. The solution x = 0 means that the value 0 satisfies the equation, so there is a solution.
