Answer:

The answer to your question is   \frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1          

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Foci  (-2, 2)  (4, 2)

Major axis = 10

Process

1.- Plot the foci to determine if the ellipse is vertical or horizontal. See the picture below.

From the graph we conclude that it is a horizontal ellipse.

2.- Determine the foci axis (distance between the foci)

                  2c = 6

                    c = 6/2

                    c = 3

3.- Determine a

                  2a = 10

                    a = 10/2

                    a = 5

4.- Determine b using the Pythagorean theorem

                   a² = b² + c²

-Solve for b

                   b² = a² - c²

                   b² = 5² - 3²

                   b² = 25 - 9

                   b² = 16

                   b = 4

5.- Find the center (1, 2)  From the graph, it is in the middle of the foci

6.- Find the equation of the ellipse

                      \frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{5^{2}} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{4^{2}} = 1

                       \frac{(x - 1)^{2}}{25} + \frac{(y - 2)^{2}}{16} = 1

If graphed in the plane, would the line y=5x-2 pass through the point (4,15)
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Using substitution, subs in the points given

(15) = 5(4) - 2

15 = 20 - 2

Because the 2 sides are NOT equal the line would not pass through the point

The equation of a quadratic is =2^2+3−2and after you factorizing 2^2+3−2=0you got x = -2 and x = 1/2 and the curve crosses the y
Lelechka [254]

Given the next quadratic function:

y=2x^2+3x-2

to sketch its graph, first, we need to find its vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is found as follows:

x_V=\frac{-b}{2a}

where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the first two coefficients of the quadratic function. Substituting with a = 2 and b = 3, we get:

\begin{gathered} x_V=\frac{-3}{2\cdot2} \\ x_V=-\frac{3}{4}=-0.75 \end{gathered}

The y-coordinate of the vertex is found by substituting the x-coordinate in the quadratic function, as follows:

\begin{gathered} y_V=2x^2_V+3x_V-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})^2+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=2\cdot\frac{9}{16}+3\cdot(-\frac{3}{4})-2 \\ y_V=\frac{9}{8}-\frac{9}{4}-2 \\ y_V=-\frac{25}{8}=-3.125 \end{gathered}

The factorization indicates that the curve crosses the x-axis at the points (-2, 0) and (1/2, 0). We also know that the curve crosses the y-axis at (0,-2). Connecting these points and the vertex (-0.75, -3.125) with a U-shaped curve, we get:

I'd say it's "convergent and doesn't have a sum"

because it's multiplying by 3 to get every new number and switching between ± after every new number. there is no sum because it's an infinite series.
