If the co-vertices are (0, 3) and (0, -3) where x is 0 and y has a value, then y is the minor axis. That means that the x axis is the major axis. Because of what the co-vertices are, the center of the ellipse is at the origin. The formula for an ellipse that has a horizontal major axis is
. The a value will always be larger than the b value, therefore, the a value goes under the coordinate that is the major axis. Here, its the x-axis. a is the distance that the outer edge of the ellipse is from the center. It's 8 units away from the center along the x axis and 3 units along the y axis from the center. So a = 8 and a^2 = 64; b = 3 and b^2 = 9. Our formula then is

Answer:
You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla and 200 of Continental Mocha to use up all the eggs and cream.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a first order equation
I am going to call x the number of quarts of Creamy Vanilla and y the number of quarts of Continental Mocha.
The problem states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 2 eggs and each quart of Continental Mocha uses 1 egg. There are 700 eggs in stock, so:
2x + y = 700.
The problem also states that each quart of Creamy Vanilla uses 3 cups of cream and that each quart of Continental Mocha uses 3 cups of cream. There are 1350 cups of cream in stock, so:
3x + 3y = 1350
Now we have to solve the following system of equations
1) 2x + y = 700
2) 3x + 3y = 1350
I am going to write y as function of x in 1) and replace it in 2)
y = 700 - 2x
3x + 3(700 - 2x) = 1350
3x + 2100 - 6x = 1350
-3x = -750 *(-1)
3x = 750
x = 250
You should make 250 quarts of Creamy Vanilla
Now, replace it in 1)
y = 700 - 2x
y = 700 - 2(250)
y = 700 - 500
y = 200.
You should make 200 quarts of Continental Mocha
