The equation of an ellipse is:
(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b², where h, k are the coordinates of the center, a & b represent half of the major & minor axis respectively.
The given equation is:
x²/100 + y²/36 = 1.( a =10 and b = 6)

CENTER: Since h and k = 0, then the center of this ellipse is the origin (0,0)

VERTICES: a² = 100, → a = +10 and a = -10, then the right vertex is (10,0) and the left vertex is (-10,0)

FOCI: The distance "c" from the center to the focus is given by the following:

c² = a² - b²

c² = 100 - 36 = 64  and c = +8 and - 8

The coordinate of the right focus F₁(8,0) and F₂(-8,0) for the left focus

Simplify the equation -4d - 37 = 7d + 18
exis [7]

Answer:

d=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4d-37=7d +18

move the terms to its correct side

-4d-7d=18+37

calculate the like terms together.

-11d=55

divide both sides by -11. both of the negavtive (-11) will cancel out and become d on the left and on the right 55 will be divided by -11 = -5. the 5 is negative because there's a negative -11 if there were a postive 11 it will be 5 instead of D=-5

54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability
Degger [83]

Part B is not clear and the clear one is;

P(X ≥ 6)

Answer:

A) 0.238

B) 0.478

C) 0.114

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will make use of binomial probability formula;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x)•(1 - p) ^(n - x)

A) 54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. Thus;

p = 0.54

10 random adults are selected. Thus;

P(X = 5) = 10C5 × 0.54^(5) × (1 - 0.54)^(10 - 5)

P(X = 5) = 0.238

B) P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(X ≥ 6) = 0.2331 + 0.1564 + 0.0688 + 0.01796 + 0.0021 = 0.47836 ≈ 0.478

C) P(x<4) = P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)

Again with online binomial probability calculations, we have;

P(x<4) = 0.1141 ≈ 0.114

My Notes A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 f
Sergio [31]

Answer:

6.667 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Height of street light = 15ft

Height of man = 6ft

Speed away from pole = 4ft/s

Let x represents the distance between the man and the pole, and Let y represents the distance between the tip of the man's shadow to the pole.

This forms a similar triangle (see attachment below).

From similar triangles, we have

(y - x)/6 = y/15 ----- Solve equation

15(y - x) = 6 * y

15y - 15x = 6y ---- Collect Like Terms

15y - 6y = 15x

9y = 15x --- divide through by 9

y = 15x/9

y = 5x/3 ---- differentiate with respect to time, t

dy/dt = 5/3 dx/dt

dx/dt represents rate of change of distance per time = 4ft/s

while dy/dt represents rate of movement of his shadow tips

dy/dt = 5/3 * 4

dy/dt = 20/3 = 6.667 ft/s
