PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!! A carpenter wants to cut the largest possible ellipse from a 5 feet by 11 feet rectangular board. After the foci are located, a string is connected to them and pulled taut by a pencil in order to draw the ellipse. Find the length of the string.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest possible ellipse will have a semi-minor axis of 2 feet and a semi-major axis of 4 feet. If we center the board on the origin of the cartesian coordinate plane, we can derive the location of the foci and thus, the length of string he will need:

x^2 / 16 + y^2 / 4 = 1

Vertices:

(-4 , 0) , (4 , 0)

(0 , -2) , (0 , 2)

answer: no

step-by-step explanation:

you are only given the cost not the amount of pounds.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
