Answer:

64

Step-by-step explanation:

J : N

5 : 3

40 : x

40×3=120

120÷5=24

24+40=64

to confirm if it's correct:

5:3

5+3=8

(5/8)×64=24

(3/8)×64=40

therefore, it's 64

Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin, which has foci at (0,\pm\sqrt{63})(0,± 63 )left parenthesis, 0, comma

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\frac{x^{2} }{4312 } + \frac{y^{2} }{8281 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the foci are at(0,±c) = (0,±63) and vertices (0,±a) = (0,±91), the major axis is the y- axis. So, we have the equation in the form (with center at the origin) $\frac{x^{2} }{b^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{a^{2} }$ .

We find the co-vertices b from b = ±√(a² - c²) where a = 91 and c = 63

b = ±√(a² - c²)

= ±√(91² - 63²)

= ±√(8281 - 3969)

= ±√4312

= ±14√22

So the equation is

$\frac{x^{2} }{(14\sqrt{22}) ^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{91^{2} } = \frac{x^{2} }{4312 } + \frac{y^{2} }{8281 }$

I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:

2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides

3x + 1 = $\frac{11}{2}$ [11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides

$3x=\frac{11}{2}-\frac{2}{2}$ [make the denominator the same to combine fractions]

3x = $\frac{9}{2}$ Divide by 3 on both sides

x = $\frac{9}{6}=\frac{3}{2}$
