You use the formula given and it usually involves dividing
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 isy²/289+x²/225=1see the attached figure
Answer:
I'm not very sure, however I think you have to replace the sign - for a +.
Step-by-step explanation:
7 + 4√13
D. Take the log of both sides first. You would then go on to solve by pulling the x down in front of the log 6 to get x log 6 = log 24. Divide both sides by log 6 to get x = log 24/log 6 and x = 1.7737
