The cut-off point is 0.5: higher than this would be closer to 1, and lower would be closer to 0
and 3/8 is lower than 0.5: we know this because a bigger number, 4/8 is equal to 0.5
so it's closer to 0!
Create a a system of 2 equations: 2x + y = 27 and 2y + x = 9, with x being the first number and y being the second. solve for the two variables and you'll get the first number is 15 and the second is -3.

Divide both sides by
to get


Substitute
, so that
. Then



The remaining ODE is separable. Separating the variables gives

Integrate both sides. On the left, split up the integrand into partial fractions.




Then

On the right, we have

Solving for
explicitly is unlikely to succeed, so we leave the solution in implicit form,

and finally solve in terms of
by replacing
:



The cylinder that is sliced by the plane which is not parallel to the base of the cylinder and intersects only at the lateral surface is called an ellipse.
<h3>What is the formation of an Ellipse in a Cylinder?</h3>
When a cylinder with a longitudinal axis (z) is sliced at an angle to the xy plane, an elliptical shape is created.
In a circle, every plane crosses a circular cylinder perpendicularly to its axis. A plane that is neither at right angles to the axis nor parallel to it, crosses the cylinder in an elliptical shape.
