HELP. How long is the minor axis for the ellipse shown below?

Mathematics

Given:

The equation of ellipse is

\dfrac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\dfrac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1

To find:

The length of the minor axis.

Solution:

The standard form of an ellipse is

\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1      ...(i)

where, (h,k) is center, if a>b, then 2a is length of major axis and 2b is length of minor axis.

We have,

\dfrac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\dfrac{(y-1)^2}{16}=1      ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

b^2=16

Taking square root on both sides.

b=\pm 4

Consider only positive value of b because length cannot be negative.

b=4

Now,

Length of minor axis = 2b

                                  = 2(4)

                                  = 8

So, the length of minor axis is 8 units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

4(5x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, let's expand things out, as we cannot learn anything from this form. We get 30x + 20 - 10x + 4, or 20x + 24. To find the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor), we take the terms and try to find the number (or term) that divides them. It must be a constant, because of the 24, and 4 goes into 20 and 24. So, our final answer is 4(5x + 6).

What is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x+2y=4 and passes through the point (-2, 1)
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

x + 2y = 4

2y = - x + 4

y = -x/2 + 4/2

y = - x/2 + 2

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 1/2

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.

Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 2, 1) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 2 and y = 1 into y = mx + c. It becomes

1 = 2 × - 2 + c = - 4 + c

c = 1 + 4 = 5

The equation becomes

y = 2x + 5

Inside a triangle, all inside angles add up to 180°

So, add the two angles:

26.4°+33.7°=60.1°

180°-60.1°=119.9°

b=119.9°
