Find center,foci, and vertices of ellipse (x+3)^2/21+(y-5)^2/25=1

sasho [114]

I don't know if we can find the foci of this ellipse, but we can find the centre and the vertices. First of all, let us state the standard equation of an ellipse.

(If there is a way to solve for the foci of this ellipse, please let me know! I am learning this stuff currently.)

$\frac{(x-x_{1})^2}{a^2}+ \frac{(y-y_{1})^2}{b^2}=1$

Where $(x_{1},y_{1})$ is the centre of the ellipse. Just by looking at your equation right away, we can tell that the centre of the ellipse is:

$(-3,5)$

Now to find the vertices, we must first remember that the vertices of an ellipse are on the major axis.

The major axis in this case is that of the y-axis. In other words,

$b^2>a^2$

So we know that b=5 from your equation given. The vertices are 5 away from the centre, so we find that the vertices of your ellipse are:

$(-3,10)$
& $(-3,0)$

I really hope this helped you! (Partially because I spent a lot of time on this lol)

Jake has a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet. He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each

emmasim [6.3K]

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

$x\approx 2.9ft$

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

First of all, let's calculate the area of the original rectangular garden:

$A=b\times h \\ \\ b:base \\ \\ h:height \\ \\ \\ b=12ft \\ \\ h=14ft \\ \\ \\ A=12(14) \\ \\ A=168ft^2$

Jake wants to increase the area by 50%, so the new area would be:

$A'=168(1.5) \\ \\ A'=252ft^2$

He wants to increase the area by 50% and plans to increase each dimension by equal lengths, x, so this is represented by the figure below, therefore:

$(12+x)(14+x)=252 \\ \\ 168+12x+14x+x^2-252=0 \\ \\ x^2+26x-84=0 \\ \\ \\ Using \ quadratic \ formula: \\ \\ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ a=1 \\ \\ b=26 \\ \\ c=-84 \\ \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2-4(1)(-84)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ x=\frac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1012}}{2} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ x_{1}=-13+\sqrt{253} \approx 2.9\\ \\ x_{2}=-13-\sqrt{253} \approx -28.9 \\ \\ x_{2} \ is \ discarded \ because \ it \ can't \ be \ negatives$

Finally:

<em>In order to increase the area of a rectangular garden that measures 12 feet by 14 feet by 50% Jake must increase each dimension by equal lengths, x:</em>

$x\approx 2.9ft$
