Skip designs tracks for amusement park rides. For a new design, the track will be elliptical. If the ellipse is placed on a larg

e coordinate grid with its center at (0, 0), the equation (the drawing ^) models the path of the track. The units are given in yards. How long is the major axis of the track? Explain how you found the distance.

Given:
center (0,0)
the equation given should have been:
x²/2500 + y²/8100 = 1

We need to identify the larger denominator. If it is under x, the ellipse is horizontal. If it is under y, the ellipse is vertical. In this case, 8100 is larger and it is under y so the ellipse is vertical.

(x-h)²/b² + (y-k)²/a² = 1

h and k are the center values which are both 0.
a = length of the semi-major axis
b = length of the semi-minor axis

x²/2500 + y²/8100 = 1
x²/50² + y²/90² = 1

a = 90. It is the semi-major axis. 

length of the major axis is 180yards.

90 x 2 = 180

What is the value of the coins?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

220 cents, $2.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Count the amount of QUARTERS there are.

7 quarters.

The next coin in the photo is a dime.

4 dimes.

The next coin in the photo is a penny.

5 pennies.

Quarters are worth 25 cents, dimes are worth 10 cents, and pennies are worth 1 cent.

25(7) + 4(10) + 5(1) = v (the total value)

25 * 7 = 175 cents

4 * 10 = 40 cents

5 * 1 = 5 cents

175 + 40 + 5 = v

175 + 40 = 215 cents

215 + 5 = 220 cents

The value of all of those coins is 220 cents, or $2.20.

For two binomial random variables, one with p = 0.3 and the other with p = 0.7, which one would have the higher value at the 50t
Bad White [126]

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the binomial distribution, we need p and 1 - p

and so, since 1-0.3 is same as 0.7

for the 50th percentile, we have that the values of the two are equal

The 50th percentile in this case is that probably, we are selecting 50 out of a total of 100
