The ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity.

<h3>Definitions of dimensions in ellipses</h3>

Dimensionally speaking, an ellipse is characterized by three variables:

  1. Length of the <em>major</em> semiaxis (a).
  2. Length of the <em>minor</em> semiaxis (b).
  3. Distance between the foci and the center of the ellipse (c).

And there is the following relationship:

c = \sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}} (1)

Another variable that measure how "similar" is an ellipse to a circle is the eccentricity (e), which is defined by the following formula:

e = \frac{c}{a}, 0 \ge c \ge 1 (2)

The greater the eccentricity, the more similar the ellipse to a circle.

Therefore, the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the <em>major</em> axis is called eccentricity. \blacksquare

Solve the following absolute value equation.<br><br> −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14
Levart [38]

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

Which equation represents a line that passes through (2, –) and has a slope of 3?
snow_lady [41]
We are asked in the problem to deterimne the point slope form that is y - y1  = m(x-x1),. Substituting, m = 3 and x1 = 2

Translating,

y + a = 3*(x-2). 


Ahnswer to this problem then is C.
