Answer:

\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the ellipse is

\dfrac{(x-x_0)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-y_0)^2}{b^2}=1,

where (x_0,y_0) are the coordinates of the center.

If the vertices of an ellipse are at A(1, 5) and B(1, -5), then the center is the midpoint of the segment AB. Hence, the center has coordinates

\left(\dfrac{1+1}{2},\dfrac{5+(-5)}{2}\right)=(1,0).

The coordinates of the vertices satisfy the equation:

\dfrac{(1-1)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(5-0)^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow b^2=25.

If (3, 0) is a point on the ellipse, then its coordinates satisfy the equation:

\dfrac{(3-1)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(0-0)^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow a^2=4.

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is

\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1.

Find the missing value 8- = -5​
podryga [215]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

call the missing number x

8 - x = - 5                        Subtract 8 from both sides

8-8 - x = -5-8                  Combine

-x = - 13                           Multiply by -1

x = 13

Wendy has 5 and 1 over 3 feet of ribbon. How many 2 over 3 foot pieces can Wendy cut from the 5 and 1 over 3 feet of ribbon? Sho
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Your answer is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number. Then add the numerator and put that answer in a fraction over the original. So it would be 3*5=15+1=16/3. So now that the denominators are the same, all you need to do is see how many times 2 goes into 16. 16/2 which is 8. Answer = 8
