The eccentricity e of an ellipse is defined as the number c/a, where a is the distance of a vertex from the center and c is the

distance of a focus from the center. Because a>c, it follows that e<1. Write a brief paragraph about the general shape of each of the following ellipses. Be sure to justify your conclusions. (a) Eccentricity close to 0 (b) Eccentricity=5 (c) Eccentricity close to 1

Answer:

Check below, please.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there!

Since we can describe eccentricity as e=\frac{c}{a}

a) Eccentricity close to 0

An ellipsis with eccentricity whose value is 0, is in fact, a degenerate one almost a circle. An ellipse whose value is close to zero is almost a degenerate circle. The closer the eccentricity comes to zero, the more rounded gets the ellipse just like a circle. (Check picture, please)

\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1 \:(Ellipse \:formula)\\a^2=b^2+c^2 \: (Pythagorean\: Theorem)\:a=longer \:axis.\:b=shorter \:axis)\\a^2=b^2+(0)^2 \:(c\:is \:the\: distance \: the\: Foci)\\\\a^2=b^2 \\a=b\: (the \:halves \:of \:each\:axes \:measure \:the \:same)

b) Eccentricity =5

5=\frac{c}{a} \:c=5a

An eccentricity equal to 5 implies that the distance between the Foci has to be five (5) times larger than the half of its longer axis! In this case, there can't be an ellipse since the eccentricity must be between 0 and 1 in other words:

If\:e=\frac{c}{a} \:then\:c>0 , and\: c>0 \:then \:1>e>0

c) Eccentricity close to 1

In this case, the eccentricity close or equal to 1 We must conceive an ellipse whose measure for the half of the longer axis a and the distance between the Foci 'c' they both have the same size.

a=c\\\\a^2=b^2+c^2\:(In \:the\:Pythagorean\:Theorem\: we \:should\:conceive \:b=0)

Then:\\\\a=c\\e=\frac{c}{a}\therefore e=1

What is an equation of a line in point slope form that passes through the points (7,-8) and (-4,6)?
maw [93]

y=kx+b

for (7,-8): -8=7k+b. (function 1)

for (-4,6): 6=-4k+b (function 2)

Use function 2 - function 1

we get: 14=-11k

k=-14/11------>slope is -14/11

Now we know that first two options are wrong since they have the wrong slope for the function.

Plus -14/11 back to function 1/ or 2. Both are correct and can give you the answer. In this case I would plug it back to function 2.

6=14*4/11+b

b=66/11-56/11

b=10/11

We get y=-14/11x+10/11

subtract both side by 6.

y-6=-14/11x+10/11-66/11

y-6=-14/11x-56/11

y-6=-14/11(x+4)

So C is correct

A landscape plan includes a rectangular flower bed that is surrounded the wood planks. In the drawing, the rectangular flower be
True [87]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

length =8in

breadth =6in

since . The length and width of the actual flower bed will be 24 times larger than the length and width in the drawing.

new

length=8×24=192in

breadth =6×24=144in

(b) What is the perimeter of the actual flower bed ? Show your work.

<em>answer:the perimeter of the</em><em> </em><em>actual flower bed</em><em> =2(l+b)</em>

<em> =2(l+b)=2(192+144)=672</em><em>in</em>

(a) What is the perimeter of the drawing? Show your work

<em>answer</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>the perimeter of the </em><em>drawing</em>

<em>=</em><em>2</em><em>(</em><em>8</em><em>+</em><em>6</em><em>)</em><em>=</em><em>9</em><em>6</em><em>in</em>

<em>(c) What is the effect on the perimeter of the flower bed with the dimensions are multiplied by 24? Show your work</em>

<em>p</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>flower </em><em>bed</em><em> </em><em>/</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>d</em><em>r</em><em>a</em><em>w</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em>

<em>=</em><em>9</em><em>6</em><em>/</em><em>6</em><em>7</em><em>2</em><em>=</em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>7</em>

<h3><em>perimeter</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>drawing</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>increased</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>7</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>perimeter</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>flower</em><em> </em><em>bed</em></h3>
