Answer:

b = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

use distributive property to multiply the -2 with the numbers in the parentheses

3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b

7 - 2b = 2 - 7b

add 2b to both sides

7 = 2- 5b

subtract 2 from both sides

5 = -5b

divide by -5

b = -1

Complete the square and write in standard form. Show all work.What would be the conic section:CircleEllipseHyperbolaParabola
mote1985 [20]

ANSWER

This is an ellipse. The equation is:

\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1

EXPLANATION

We have to complete the square for each variable. To do so, we have to take the first two terms and compare them with the perfect binomial squared formula,

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

For x we have to take 16x² and -32x. Since the coefficient of x is not 1, first, we have to factor out the coefficient 16,

16x^2-32x=16(x^2-2x)

Now, the first term of the expanded binomial would be x and the second term -2x. Thus, the binomial is,

(x-1)^2=x^2-2x+1

To maintain the equation, we have to subtract 1,

16(x^2-2x+1-1)=16((x-1)^2-1)=16(x-1)^2-16

Now, we replace (16x² - 32x) from the given equation by this equivalent expression,

16(x-1)^2-16+9y^2+72y+16=0

The next step is to do the same for y. We have the terms 9y² + 72y. Again, since the coefficient of y² is not 1, we factor out the coefficient 9,

9y^2+72y=9(y^2+8y)

Following the same reasoning as before, we have that the perfect binomial squared is,

(y+4)^2=y^2+8y+16

Remember to subtract the independent term to maintain the equation,

9(y^2+8y)=9(y^2+8y+16-16)=9((y+4)^2-16)=9(y+4)^2-144

And now, as we did for x, replace the two terms (9y² + 72y) with this equivalent expression in the equation,

16(x-1)^2-16+9(y+4)^2-144+16=0

Add like terms,

\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2+(-16-144+16)=0 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144=0 \end{gathered}

Add 144 to both sides,

\begin{gathered} 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2-144+144=0+144 \\ 16(x-1)^2+9(y+4)^2=144 \end{gathered}

As we can see, this is the equation of an ellipse. Its standard form is,

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

So the next step is to divide both sides by 144 and also write the coefficients as fractions in the denominator,

\begin{gathered} \frac{16(x-1)^2}{144}+\frac{9(y+4)^2}{144}=\frac{144}{144} \\  \\ \frac{(x-1)^2}{\frac{144}{16}}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{\frac{144}{9}}=1 \end{gathered}

Finally, we have to write the denominators as perfect squares, so we identify the values of a and b. 144 is 12², 16 is 4² and 9 is 3²,

\frac{(x-1)^2}{(\frac{12}{4})^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{(\frac{12}{3})^2}=1

Note that we can simplify a and b,

\frac{12}{4}=3\text{ and }\frac{12}{3}=4

Hence, the equation of the ellipse is,

\frac{(x-1)^2}{3^2}+\frac{(y+4)^2}{4^2}=1

The probability of getting a head when a biased coin is tossed is . The coin is tossed three times. Find the following probabili
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

a) P(three tails) = \frac{1}{8}

b) P(two tails followed by one head) = \frac{1}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

coin is tossed three times so, outcome is

HHH, TTT, HTH, THH, HHT, THT, TTH, HTT.

Hence sample space will be

S = {HHH, TTT, HTH, THH, HHT, THT, TTH, HTT}

chance of getting three tails is '1' i.e. TTT

hence,

P(three tails) = \frac{1}{8}

two tails followed by one head is TTH

so, chance of getting that outcome is also '1'

hence,

P(two tails followed by one head) = \frac{1}{8}

If a line has a slope of -4 and a u intercept of 1, which of the following is it's graph?
3241004551 [841]
Well. I can't see the picture. But it would be decreasing at a rate of 4 so pick a point on the any line move over to the right one, then down four. And for the y intercept the line would intersect the y axis at positive one. Sorry if that's confusing
