Answer:

yes it is

Step-by-step explanation:

Examples of Rational Functions

The function R(x) = (x^2 + 4x - 1) / (3x^2 - 9x + 2) is a rational function since the numerator, x^2 + 4x - 1, is a polynomial and the denominator, 3x^2 - 9x + 2 is also a polynomial.

Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.

First, we will need the distance formula, given by:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).

So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:

\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}

And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}

So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:

d_1+d_2=6

Now, by substitution:

(\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6

Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:

\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

Square both sides:

(x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)

We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:

y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4

We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:

-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

We can divide both sides by -4:

2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

Adding 9 to both sides yields:

2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}

And, we will square both sides one final time.

4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))

Distribute:

4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36

The 36y will cancel. So:

4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36

Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:

9x^2+5y^2=45

And dividing both sides by 45 produces:

\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1

Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 times -6x is 24x and-4 x -3 = 12

isolating 24x on the right side we subtract twelve on the right and on the left to get 24x=0 and 24 divided by zero is 0

 Ill Mark Brainliest if you answer correctly. The figure below shows a shaded circular region inside a larger circle:
pogonyaev

First we have to find the areas of both circle using the formula

Area = \pi r^2

For larger circle,

Area=  \pi(5)^2 = 25 \pi

For smaller circle,

Area = \pi (4)^2 = 16 \pi

Required probability

= \frac{25 \pi -16 \pi}{25 \pi} *100 = \frac{9}{25}*100 = 36%

Correct option is the second option .
