The height of the tunnel at the center is 54 ft, and the vertical clearance must be 18 ft at a point 8 ft from the center. Find

an equation for the ellipse.
Mathematics

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

372 to the nearest 100
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: 400

Explanation: To round 372 to the nearest hundred, we first find the digit in the rounding place which in this case is the 3 in the hundreds place.

To decide whether to round up or down, we look

at the digit to the right of the 3, which is 7.

According to the rules of rounding, if the digit to the right of the

rounding place is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

So in this problem, since 7 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up.

This means that we add 1 to the 3 in the rounding place

to get 4 and all digits to the right of 4 become 0.

So 372 rounded to the nearest hundred is 400.

The equation of a parabola is (y−3)2=20(x+1) .
Andreyy89
2(y - 3) = 20(x - 1)
(h, k) = (1, 3)
(y - 3) = 10(x - 1)
4p = 10
p = \frac{5}{2}
x = h - p
x = 1 - \frac{5}{2}
x = - \frac{3}{2}
Hope that helped! If it's wrong, I'm sorry; I only learned about directrix today.
