Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The foci:

F=(1,0)

F'=(-1,0)

The co-vertices:

V=(0,2

V'=(-2,0)

$\dfrac{x^2}{a^2} +\dfrac{y^2}{b^2} =1\\\\with\ \\b=2\\and \\2*a=2*|FV|=2*\sqrt{5} \, a=\sqrt{5}\\\\\dfrac{x^2}{5} +\dfrac{y^2}{4} =1\\$

Two lines intersect in more than one point always sometimes never

GuDViN [60]

The answer is never, that is, on a 2 dimensional plane. You can perform an experiment to see why it is the case. On curved surfaces though, two lines can intersect one another more than once. For instance, on the surface of planet Earth, two lines can intersect one another, both at the Earth's North Pole and South Pole.

What is the solution of x=2+ square root x-2?

alex41 [277]

So I'm going to assume that this question is asking for non extraneous solutions, or solutions that are found in the equation and are valid solutions when plugged back into the equation. So firstly, subtract 2 on both sides of the equation:

$x-2=\sqrt{x-2}$

Next, square both sides:

$(x-2)^2=x-2\\(x-2)(x-2)=x-2\\x^2-4x+4=x-2$

Next, subtract x and add 2 to both sides of the equation:

$x^2-5x+6=0$

Now we are going to be factoring by grouping to find the solution(s). Firstly, what two terms have a product of 6x^2 and a sum of -5x? That would be -3x and -2x. Replace -5x with -2x - 3x:

$x^2-2x-3x+6=0$

Next, factor x^2 - 2x and -3x + 6 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside of the parentheses:

$x(x-2)-3(x-2)=0$

Now you can rewrite the equation as $(x-3)(x-2)=0$

Now, apply the Zero Product Property and solve for x as such:

$x-3=0\\x=3\\\\x-2=0\\x=2$

Now, it may appear that the answer is C, however we need to plug the numbers back into the original equation to see if they are true as such:

$2=2+\sqrt{2-2}\\2=2+\sqrt{0}\\2=2+0\\2=2\ \textsf{true}\\\\3=2+\sqrt{3-2}\\3=2+\sqrt{1}\\3=2+1\\3=3\ \textsf{true}$

Since both solutions hold true when x = 2 and x = 3, your answer is C. x = 2 or x = 3.
