4a + 6b = 10
2a - 4b = 12...multiply by -2
----------------
4a + 6b = 10
-4a + 8b = - 24 (result of multiplying by -2)
------------------add
14b = - 14
b = -14/14
b = -1
2a - 4b = 12
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12
2a = 12 - 4
2a = 8
a = 8/2
a = 4
so 12a = 12(4) = 48 <==
Equation of an ellipse:
(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1
Since it passes through the origin (0,0) , then h = k = 0 hence the equation:
(x-0)²/a² + (y-0)²/b² = 1
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1
2a = major axis = 2.|5| + |-5| = 10. then a = 5 and a² = 25
2b = minor axis = 2.|3| + |-3| = 6. then b = 3 and b² = 9
Then the final equation is:
x²/25 + y²/9 = 1
Answer:allison
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em><u>A:</u></em>
<em><u>Square</u></em>
<em><u>Rectangle</u></em>
<em><u>Parallelogram</u></em>
<em><u>Quadrilateral</u></em>
<em><u>Rhombus</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
All sides and angles are equal so it is a square
All angles are 90 degrees so it is a rectangle (eliminate C)
Opposing angles and side lengths are congruent so it is a parallelogram (eliminate D)
It has 4 sides so it is a quadrilateral (eliminate B)
Since all of the other answers are eliminated you don't necessarily need to prove that is is a rhombus, but it is good practice.
Opposing sides are congruent so it is a rhombus.
