The equation looks like this
. In an ellipse, a is always the bigger value, so a^2 = 25. This bigger value also tells us which axis is the major one. Sine the bigger value a is under the y^2 of the equation, the major axis is the y-axis. This is a vertical ellipse. The center is always found within a set of parenthesis that exist with the x^2 and the y^2. Since there are no parenthesis with either, there is no side to side movement, nor is there any up or down movement. So the center doesn't move from the origin (0, 0). The vertex is also along the major axis, and if a^2 is 25, then a = 5, so the vertices go up 5 from the center and down 5 from the center. Vertices are (0, 5) and (0, -5). The foci follow the formula
. c is the distance that the foci are from the center.
and c = 3. The foci also lie on the major axis, so the coordinates for the foci are (0, 3) and (0, -3). There you go!
Answer:
The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees ⇒ A
Step-by-step explanation:
- In any triangle, the sum of the measures of its interior angle is 180°
- In the isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal in measures
∵ In an isosceles triangle, the measure of the base angle = (2x + 5)
∵ The base angles of the isosceles triangles are equal in measures
∴ The measures of the base angles are (2x + 5), (2x + 5)
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = (5x - 1)
∵ The sum of the measure of the three angles = 180°
∴ (2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x - 1) = 180
→ Add the like terms in the left side
∵ (2x + 2x + 5x) + (5 + 5 + -1) = 180
∴ 9x + 9 = 180
→ Subtract 9 from both sides
∴ 9x + 9 - 9 = 180 - 9
∴ 9x = 171
→ Divide both sides by 9 to find x
∴ x = 19
→ Substitute the value of x in the measure of the vertex angle to find it
∵ The measure of the vertex angle = 5x - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 5(19) - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 95 - 1
∴ The measure of the vertex angle = 94°
∴ The measure of the vertex angle is 94 degrees
Answer:
y< -3/2x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
if you look at the graph, you can see the line is dotted, which means it is not equal to. eliminate a and c. the shade is toward the bottom of the y, which then you could eliminate a because b says the y value is greater than, which isn't true. you could also check it by plugging in any value for x!
hope this helped :)
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagoras' theorem,
12^2 = 11^2 + height^2
height = ±√12^2 - 11^2 (rej -ve value since height > 0)
height = 16.279 (5sf) = 16.3 (nearest tenth place)
