A whispering chamber is an elliptically arched chamber. A unique feature of a whispering chamber is that when a person standing at one focus of the ellipse whispers, he can be heard by a person standing at the other focus, regardless of the dimensions of the ellipse from which the dome is built. Suppose that the dimensions of the ellipse used to create a whispering dome is 140 feet by 300 feet. Manuel stands at one focus, and Michelle stands at the other focus. How far apart are Manuel and Michelle? Enter your answer, rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot, in the box.

the domain of a function is the set of input values, x , for which a function is defined. the domain is shown in the left oval in the picture below. the function provides an output value, f(x) , for each member of the domain.

let's call the solutions x₁ = (5 - 2√7)/3 and x₂ = (5 + 2√7)/3

then the equation is (x-x₁)(x-x₂) = 0

if you fill that in you get a lot of numbers which you can recognize as ax²+bx+c=0.

step-by-step explanation:

you can see that a=1 (there is just an x²)

b = (-5 -2√7 + 2√7 - 5)/3 = -10/3

c = -2√7)/3 ) * (-5+2√7)/3) = -1/3

so your answer is 3x^2 – 10x – 1 = 0

answer is 270 degrees: -

to convert radians to degrees you multiply by 180/π

9π/ 6 * 180 / π

=   9 * 180 / 6

= 9 * 30

=   270 degrees   answer
