Find the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance from the point ( 0 , 2 ) and ( 0 , -2 ) is 6.
~Thanks in advance !
Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the locus of a point such that the sum of the distance from any point P on the locus to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6.
First, we will need the distance formula, given by:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Let the point on the locus be P(x, y).
So, the distance from P to (0, 2) will be:
[tex]\begin{aligned} d_1&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-2)^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]
And, the distance from P to (0, -2) will be:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} d_2&=\sqrt{(x-0)^2+(y-(-2))^2}\\\\ &=\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}\end{aligned}[/tex]
So sum of the two distances must be 6. Therefore:
[tex]d_1+d_2=6[/tex]
Now, by substitution:
[tex](\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2})+(\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2})=6[/tex]
Simplify. We can subtract the second term from the left:
[tex]\sqrt{x^2+(y-2)^2}=6-\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]
Square both sides:
[tex](x^2+(y-2)^2)=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+(x^2+(y+2)^2)[/tex]
We can cancel the x² terms and continue squaring:
[tex]y^2-4y+4=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}+y^2+4y+4[/tex]
We can cancel the y² and 4 from both sides. We can also subtract 4y from both sides. This leaves us with:
[tex]-8y=36-12\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]
We can divide both sides by -4:
[tex]2y=-9+3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]
Adding 9 to both sides yields:
[tex]2y+9=3\sqrt{x^2+(y+2)^2}[/tex]
And, we will square both sides one final time.
[tex]4y^2+36y+81=9(x^2+(y^2+4y+4))[/tex]
Distribute:
[tex]4y^2+36y+81=9x^2+9y^2+36y+36[/tex]
The 36y will cancel. So:
[tex]4y^2+81=9x^2+9y^2+36[/tex]
Subtracting 4y² and 36 from both sides yields:
[tex]9x^2+5y^2=45[/tex]
And dividing both sides by 45 produces:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{5}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1[/tex]
Therefore, the equation for the locus of a point such that the sum of its distance to (0, 2) and (0, -2) is 6 is given by a vertical ellipse with a major axis length of 3 and a minor axis length of √5, centered on the origin.

Please and thank you! x
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(7 + 2x) / 3 = 5
Cross product
7 + 2x = 5 * 3
7 + 2x = 15
Subtract 7 from both sides
2x = 15 - 7
2x = 8
Divide both sides by 2
x = 8/2
x = 4

The measure of the seventh angle in the heptagon is 125 degrees.
What is Polygon?A polygon is a plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain.
We are given the measures of six angles in the heptagon, which are:
95, 107, 132, 138, 145, and 158 degrees
Sum of angles in Heptagon is 900 degrees.
To find the measure of the seventh angle, we can subtract the sum of the six known angles from the sum of all the angles in the heptagon:
Measure of the seventh angle = Sum of angles - Sum of known angles
Measure of the seventh angle = 900 degrees - (95 + 107 + 132 + 138 + 145 + 158) degrees
Measure of the seventh angle = 900 degrees - 775 degrees
Measure of the seventh angle = 125 degrees
Therefore, the measure of the seventh angle in the heptagon is 125 degrees.

Given a quadratic equation px^2 + 8x + 2 does not have real roots. Determine the range of the values of p.
[4 marks]
Step-by-step explanation:
For a quadratic equation to have no real roots, the discriminant b² - 4ac must be negative.
For px² + 8x + 2 = 0,
We have a = p, b = 8 and c = 2.
=> (8)² - 4(p)(2) < 0
=> 64 - 8p < 0
=> 8p > 64
=> p > 8
Hence the range for p is p > 8.

Answer:
∠ AFE = 35°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠ EFD = ∠ BFC = 55° ( vertically opposite angles )
Since BD is a straight line , then
∠ EFD + ∠ AFE + AFB = 180°, that is
55° + ∠ AFE + 90° = 180
∠ AFE + 145° = 180° ( subtract 145° from both sides )
∠ AFE = 35°

Find the surface area of the cuboid shown below
Answer:
Surface area of cuboid = 352 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Height of cuboid = 8 cm
Length of cuboid = 12 cm
Width of cuboid = 4 cm
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw
Putting all the values;
Surface area = 2*12*4 + 2*12*8 + 2*8*4
Surface area = 96 + 192 + 64
Surface area = 352 cm
Hence,
Surface area of cuboid = 352 cm
