Answer:

At the beginning, there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Lisa used 880g of a container of sugar to bake a cake and 1/10 of the creaming sugar to make cookies, and she then had 3/7 of the container of sugar left, to determine how much sugar was in the container at first, the following calculation must be performed:

880 + 1 / 10X = 3 / 7X

880 + 0.1X = 0.4285X

880 = 0.4285X - 0.1X

880 = 0.3285X

880 / 0.3285 = X

2,678.26 = X

Therefore, at the beginning there were 2,678.26 grams of sugar in the container.

Find an equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

since foci are symetrically located on x-axis about origin, the equation of the ellipse must be of the following form:

  (x^2)/(a^2) + (y^2)/(b^2) = 1, where a = semi-major axis, and b = semi-minor axis,

and:  e = eccentricity = sqrt(a^2 - b^2)/a = 0.25;  foci located at (+/- sqrt(a^2 - b^2),0) = (+/- 1.25,0)

---> sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 ---> 1.25/a = 0.25 ---> a = 1.25/0.25  ---> a = 5; and sqrt(a^2 - b^2) = 1.25 = 5/4

---> a^2 - b^2 = (5/4)^2 = 25/16;  or 5^2 - b^2 = 25/16 ---> 25 - b^2 = 25/16;  

---> b^2 = 25 - (25/16) = 25[1 - 1/16] = 25(15)/16 = 375/16

---> (x^2)/25 + (y^2)/(375/16) = 1 ---> (x^2)/25 + (16y^2)/375) = 1

Hope this help...and correct it's been awhile..Let me know

In a translation, the line segments that connect each point on the preimage to the corresponding point on the image are not only
Marianna [84]
Translation doesn't change the shape, size, or orientation of anything.
It just moves things around.

So the line segments in the image are not only congruent to the ones
in the original figure.  They're also parallel.
