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
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an arithmetic progression.
difference d = (-8) - (-2) = (-8) + 2 = (-6).
nth term = a + (n-1)d
≈ $0.52 per pound
12/23 ≈ $0.52
x = 5
15 / 3 =5
