Which is the equation of an ellipse with directrices at x = ±4 and foci at (2, 0) and (−2, 0)?

Mathematics

NemiM [27]2 years ago

Answer:

x squared over 4 plus y squared over 8 equals 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of ellipse is given as;

(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1

The coordinates of a foci are: (±c, 0) where;

c² = b² - a²

However, we know that equation of directrix is; x = ±a/e

Now, Directrix is given ±4

Thus, a/e = 4

a = 4e

We also know that c = ae from ellipse foci coordinates.

Thus, ae = 2

since ae = 2, then (4e)e = 2

4e² = 2

e² = 2/4

e = 1/2

Thus;

a = 4 × 1/2

a = 2

Since c² = b² - a²;

2² = b² - 2²

4 = b² - 4

b² = 8

From (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, we can put our values to get;

x²/4 + y²/8 = 1

Definition qualitative graph
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Qualitative data is information about qualities; information that can't actually be measured.  Some other aspects to consider about qualitative data:

  • Represented through pictures that explore the data in a visual way
  • Visual representations focus on the themes found in the data
  • Can tell a story
  • Can also be displayed graphically as a pie chart or bar graph, the same as quantitative data, however, this can be tricky and can be done incorrectly easily
