Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we need to solve this is:

$d_1+d_2=2a$

Where

$d_1$ is the distance from one focus to the vertex

$d_2$ is the second distance from another focus to same vertex

Note: Here, vertex point is the point on top. The common point from which the RED and BLUE line meets the 2 foci

$a$ is half the length of the major axis (which is 9 here since total major axis is given as 18)

Now we can plug into the equation and solve:

$d_1+d_2=2a\\8.5+d_2=2(9)\\8.5+d_2=18\\d_2=18-8.5\\d_2=9.5$

D is the correct answer.

Answer:

x = 10

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan \: 30 \degree = \frac{x}{10 \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ \frac{1}{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{x}{10 \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ \sqrt{3} x = 10 \sqrt{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ x = 10 \\ \\ \cos 30 \degree = \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{y} \\ \\ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} = \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{y} \\ \\ y = 10 \sqrt{3} \times \frac{2}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ \\ y = 10 \times 2 \\ \\ y = 20$

The graph starts flat but then curves steeply upwards. You can tell this by the sudden jumps in y-coordinates, illustrating that it keeps going further up faster and faster as the x-coordinates progress steadily.
