Write the equation of an ellipse with the following characteristics: center =(1,-3) vertices=(-6,-3),(8,-3) Foci =(-4.7,-3),(6.7,-3)

(x-1)²/49 + (y+3)²/16.51 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

vertex (8,-3)     Foci (6.7,-3)   center (h,k) = (1,-3) , major axis parallel to x axis

a  is the distance of the vertex from the center, and c   is the distance of the foci from the center. b is semi-minor axis

b² = a² - c²         Ellipse equation: (x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

a = 8-1 = 7         c = 6.7 - 1 = 5.7

b² = 7² - 5.7² = 16.51

Ellipse equation:  (x-1)²/49 + (y- -3)²/16.51 = 1  i.e. (x-1)²/49 + (y+3)²/16.51 = 1

which expression represents the approximate length of bc?

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
