(a) Calculate the vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse.
Answer a: 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.
(b) Describe Adrian's position from the sea level.
Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Since sea level is the origin of coordinates. distances above sea level are positive and distances below sea level are negative. The distance between two points is the difference between them.
The vertical distance between the eagle and the seahorse is the difference between their positions:
Distance = 4.56m - (-6.82m) = 4.56m + 6.82m = 11.38 meters
Answer a) 11.38 meters is the vertical distance between them.
(b) Adrian's position is in the middle of the distance between the eagle and the seahorse:
Middle = 11.38m/2 = 5.69m
Since 5.69m is more than 4.56m above the sea level, then Adrian is below the sea level:
4.56m - 5.69m = -1.13m
Answer b: Adrian is 1.13m below the sea level.

We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1
the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1
