A designer wants to create a whisper chamber in the shape of an ellipse. He has a warehouse space with a longest length of 50 ya

rds, which he decides will be the major axis of his elliptical chamber. He determines the best spots for his guests to stand to experience his whisper chamber will be 10 yards from the center of the warehouse space, which will act as the foci. How far out from the center, along the minor axis should he build out his whisper chamber?

Answer:

22.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b² = a² - c² where a = vertex of major axis, 2a = 50 yards the length of the major axis. So , a = 50/2 = 25 yards. c = focus of chamber = 10 yards from center and b = vertex of minor axis.

So, b = ±√(a² - c²)

= ±√(25² - 10²)

= ±√(625 - 100)

= ±√525

= ±22.91 yards

≅ ± 22.9 yards

Since b = length of minor axis from center of chamber = 22.91 yards. So, he should build the whisper chamber 22.9 yards out from the center of the chamber.

Slope = 4/3, (-2, 11)
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

y = \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{41}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = \frac{4}{3}, hence

y = \frac{4}{3} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, 11) into the partial equation

11 = - \frac{8}{3} + c ⇒ c = \frac{41}{3}

y = \frac{4}{3} x + \frac{41}{3} ← equation of line

Input in stand form the equation of the given line.
Daniel [21]

Answer:

  3x +8y = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation is a good place to start.

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . equation through (h, k) with slope m

Filling in your numbers gives ...

  y +4 = -3/8(x -5)

Multiplying by 8, we get

  8y + 32 = -3x + 15

Adding 3x-32 puts this in standard form.

  3x + 8y = -17

_____

Standard form is ...

  ax +by = c

where a, b, c are mutually-prime integers and the leading coefficient is positive. (If a=0, the leading coefficient is b.)

Give an example of an addition problem in which you would and would not group the addends differently to add
madam [21]
<span>Changing the grouping of the addends should not change the sum, according to the associative property of addition. You might group them differently with (50 + 3) + 47, so that you have 50 + (3 + 47). You might not regroup them with (16 + 4) + 5 rather than 16 + (4 + 5).</span>
