The question is an illustration of solving equations using estimates.

The student's strategy makes sense because he uses estimation to solve the given equation

The correct sequence of equation is as follows:

  • \mathbf{159 - 73}
  • \mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 70- 1 - 3}
  • \mathbf{159 - 73 =90- 4}
  • \mathbf{159 - 73 =86}

We have:

\mathbf{159 - 73}

Add 0 to the equation

\mathbf{159 - 73 =159 + 0- 73}

Express 0 as 1 - 1

\mathbf{159 - 73 =159 + 1 - 1- 73}

\mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 1- 73}

Add another 0

\mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 1- 73 + 0}

Express 0 as 3 - 3

\mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 1- 73 + 3 - 3}

\mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 1- 70 - 3}

Rewrite as:

\mathbf{159 - 73 =160 - 70- 1 - 3}

Solve

\mathbf{159 - 73 =90- 4}

\mathbf{159 - 73 =86}

Which of the following statements about an ellipse is NOT true?
jeyben [28]

Answer: (b) The focus of an ellipse is always located precisely at the center of the ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is defined as <em>"a closed curve with two axes of symmetry (major axis and minor axis) that results in cutting the surface of a cone by an oblique plane to the axis of symmetry with an angle greater than that of the generatrix with respect to the axis of revolution"</em>. That is why the ellipse is considered a conic figure.

To understand it better: an ellipse has two points on its major axis that are equidistant from the center , which are called foci,  being this distance constant. In addition, the eccentricity allows to know how far the foci are from the center of the ellipse.

Therefore, the statement that indicates an ellipse has only one focus located  precisely at the center is incorrect.

Picture is attached for you to see​
Basile [38]

Answer:

  a) False

  b) True

Step-by-step explanation:

a) h(1) = 0/0, which is certainly undefined. There may or may not be a finite limit at that point, so the line x=1 is not necessarily a vertical asymptote.

The assertion that x=1 is necessarily a vertical asymptote is False.

__

b) h(2) = 4/0, another undefined value. However, we can be certain that the limit of h(x) as x → 2 is infinite, meaning the line x=2 will be a vertical asymptote.

The assertion that x=2 is necessarily a vertical asymptote is True.

_____

The graph shows a simple example of a function that has the given characteristics.
