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!
10 divided by 2 minus 1 equals 4
1). Multiply (5400 inches) by (1 foot / 12 inch) then by (1 mile / 5280 foot).
(See explanation at the bottom)
= (5400 inch) x (1 foot / 12 inch) x (1 mile / 5280 foot)
= (5400 x 1 x 1 / 12 x 5280) (inch - foot - mile / inch - foot)
= 0.0852 mile
2). Multiply (16 week) by (7 day/week) then by (24 hour/day)
then by (60 minute/hour) then by (60 sec/minute).
3). Multiply (54 yards) by (3 foot/yard) then by (1 meter/3.28 foot)
and then by (1000 mm/meter)
4). Multiply (36 cm/second) by (3600 second/hour) then by (1 meter/100 cm)
then by (1 mile/1609.3 meter).
5). Look up how many grams in a pound ('P')
Look up how many mL in a gallon ('G')
Multiply (1.09 g/mL) by ( 1 pound/ P gram) then by (1 gallon/ G mL)
6). Multiply (32 foot/sec) by (1 meter / 3.28 foot) then by (60 sec/minute).
Each time I told you to multiply by something, it was always a fraction
where the numerator and denominator are equal, like (60 seconds/minute)
or (1 foot / 12 inch). Since the top and bottom of the fraction are equal, the
value of the fraction is ' 1 ' , and multiplying by it doesn't change the value,
it only changes the units ... that's what this whole exercise is about.
When you multiply, KEEP the units in the product, and then, after you multiply, you can 'cancel' units out of the top and bottom of the product.
Like if you have 'feet' on top and bottom, just cross them out. When you're done, if you did it correctly, the last unit you end up with will be the one you want.
