Let's go though the choices.
Major axis will get shorter. TRUE, CHECK ME
As the plane moves closer to the vertex the ellipse stays the same shape but shrinks.
Ellipse will become a circle. FALSE
As long as the plane is tilted, the ellipse can't be a circle.
Ellipse will degenerate to a point. TRUE, CHECK ME
Eventually the plane gets to the vertex, at which point (ha!) we have a single point.
Nappes? Is that a word? FALSE
The plane needs a steeper angle, steeper than the generators, before it can pass through both halves.
The generators are the lines through the vertex that form the cone. The plane isn't steep enough to hold any of them. FALSE
Answer:
3 > -8
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 <u>0</u> 1 2 3 ....
-8< 3
Multiply both sides by negative four to get rid of the fraction
j+18=-32
subtract 18
j=-50
Hey there!
2(p + 1) + 8(p - 1) = 5p
2(p) + 2(1) + 8(p) + 8(-1) = 5p
2p + 2 + 8p - 8 = 5p
10p - 6 = 5p
SUBTRACT 5p to BOTH SIDES
10p - 6 - 5p = 5p - 5p
SIMPLIFY IT!
5p - 6 = 0
ADD 6 to BOTH SIDES
5p - 6 + 6 = 0 + 6
CANCEL out: -6 + 6 because it gives you 0
KEEP: 0 + 6 because it helps solve for the p-value
5p = 0 + 6
5p = 6
DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES
5p/5 = 6/5
CANCEL out: 5/5 because it gives you 1
KEEP: 6/5 because gives you the result of the p-value
SIMPLIFY IT!
p = 6/5
Therefore, your answer is: p = 6/5
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
