Answer:

x^2/25 +y^2/9 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of an ellipse as a circle with a different scale factor in the x-direction than in the y-direction. When either dimension is stretched by a factor of k, the corresponding variable (v) is replaced by (v/k).

Here, the unit circle

x^2 +y^2 = 1

is stretched by a factor of 3 vertically (in the y-direction) and a factor of 5 horizontally (in the x-direction). That means we can replace x with (x/5) and y with (y/3) in the above equation to get ...

(x/5)^2 +(y/3)^2 = 1

Traditionally, the denominator is written as a number, not a square, so the equation would be ...

x^2/25 +y^2/9 = 1

A boat traveled 150 miles downstream (with the current) and back (against the current). The trip downstream took 10 hours. The t

Margarita [4]

Answer:

b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Let it's downstream and upstream speed be d and u respectively

also speed of the boat be b and speed of stream be c.

as per question d = 150/10= 15 miles/hr

and, u= 150/30= 5 miles/hr

also we know d= b+c = 15.....i and u = b-c= 5....ii

solving i and ii we get b= 10 miles/hr and c= 5 miles/hr

The null and alternative hypotheses are given. Determine whether the hypothesis test is left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tail

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: Two-tailed test.

Population mean is the parameter which is tested.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $H_0: \mu=105$

$H_1:\mu\neq105$

We know that , the alternative hypothesis ( $H_1$ ) indicates kind of the hypothesis test we need to perform whether left-tailed, right-tailed, or two-tailed.
