the standard form for a horizontal ellipse is

X^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

Substitute 54 for b and and use (8,18) as the

point to find a

x=8

y=18

8^2/a^2 + 18^2/54^2 =1

64/a^2 +  324/2916 = 1

324/2916 reduces to 1/9

64/a^2 + 1/9 = 1

64/a^2= 1-1/9

64/a^2 = 8/9

64*9/8 = a^2

576/8 = 72

A^2 = 72

A = square root(72) = 8.485

 So formula

would be x^2/72 + y^2/2916 =1

Ralph Chase plans to sell a piece of property for ​$150000. He wants the money to be paid off in two ways a - ​short-term note a
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Amount on 11% note = $106,666.67

Amount on 8% note = $43,333.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount for the ​short-term note at ​11% interest be x.

Thus, the amount for the ​short-term note at ​8% interest will be (150000 - x)

Now we are told that the total interest paid is $15,200.

Thus;

0.11x + 0.08(150000 - x) = 15200

0.11x + 12000 - 0.08x = 15200

Rearranging gives;

0.03x = 15200 - 12000

0.03x = 3200

x = 3200/0.03

x = $106666.67

Thus, amount for 8% note = $150000 - $106666.67 = $43,333.33

Math grades assignment unit test part 2 adding and subtracting rational numbers?
Katena32 [7]

Answer: When we add or subtract rational numbers that have the same denominator, we add or subtract only the numerators. The denominators stay the same. When we add or subtract rational numbers with unlike denominators, we need to change the rational numbers to equivalent rational numbers that have the same denominators, before we find the sum or difference.

What is the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 3x + 5?
OLga [1]
Hello there!

How do you find the y-intercept?

Answer: To find the y-intercept, substitute in 0 for x and solve for y

y = x² + 3x + 5

y = (0)²  + 3(0) + 5

y = 0 + 0 + 5

y = 5

Thus, the correct answer is option D (0,5)

I really hope this answer is clear enough for you to understand. If you have questions about the answer, please let me know.

As always, I'm glad to be your helper this evening~!
