Answer:
x squared over 4 plus y squared over 8 equals 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation of ellipse is given as;
(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1
The coordinates of a foci are: (±c, 0) where;
c² = b² - a²
However, we know that equation of directrix is; x = ±a/e
Now, Directrix is given ±4
Thus, a/e = 4
a = 4e
We also know that c = ae from ellipse foci coordinates.
Thus, ae = 2
since ae = 2, then (4e)e = 2
4e² = 2
e² = 2/4
e = 1/2
Thus;
a = 4 × 1/2
a = 2
Since c² = b² - a²;
2² = b² - 2²
4 = b² - 4
b² = 8
From (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, we can put our values to get;
x²/4 + y²/8 = 1
Answer:
6 1/12 miles total
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/4 = 13/4
2 5/6 = 17/6 to ADD fractions, you must have a common denominator
I will use 12 for these
13/4 = 39/12
17/6 = 34 /12
now you can add and simplify 39/12 + 34/12 = 73/12 = 6 1/12 miles
So hmmm x²+6x+8=0
alrite.. let's do some grouping now
( x² + 6x + [?]²) + 8 = 0
notice above, we have a missing fellow in order to get a perfect square trinomial... hmm who would that be?
let's take a peek at the middle guy of the trinomial.. 6x.. hmmm let's factor it, 2*3*x, wait a minute! 2 * 3 * x... we already have x² on the left-side, since the middle term is just 2 * the square root of the other two terms, that means that the guy on the right, our missing guy must be "3"
alrite, let's add 3² then, however, bear in mind that, all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0
so if we add 3², we also have to subtract 3², let's do so
(x² + 6x +3² - 3²) + 8 = 0
(x² + 6x +3²) + 8 - 3² = 0
(x+3)²=3² - 8
(x+3)² = 1
You would subtract 6 from both sides in order to get m by itself. When you do this you get m=-10
The number of silver and bronze medals that France won are 9 silver and bronze medals.
Since there are 60 medals awarded, and there were 20 each of bronze, silver, and gold. This means that there are 20 gold, 20 bronze and 20 silver.
Since U.S. swim team won 13 gold medals and Spain won 5gold medals, then the gold won by France will be:
= 20 - (13 + 5)
= 20 - 18
= 2 gold medals
France won 2 gold medals.
Since France won one-third of all the medals, the number of medals won by France will be:
= 1/3 × 60
= 20 medals
Since France won 2 golds medals, then the number of silver and bronze will be:
= 20 - 2
= 18 silver and bronze medals.
Since France won equal number of silver and bronze medals. This will be:
= 18/2
= 9 silver and bronze medals.
