Write the equation of the conic section with the given properties: an ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0) and a minor axis of length 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse with vertices (-8, 0) and (8, 0)

Distance between two vertices = 2a

Distance between (-8,0) and (8,0) = 16

2a= 16

so a= 8

Vertex is (h+a,k)

we know a=8, so vertex is (h+8,k)

Now compare (h+8,k) with vertex (8,0) and find out h and k

h+8 =8, h=0

k =0  

a minor axis of length 10.

Length of minor axis = 2b

2b = 10

so b = 5

General formula for the equation of horizontal ellipse is

a= 8 , b=5 , h=0,k=0. equation becomes

answer:

it will cost 480 dollars to refurbish the larger wood floor

step-by-step explanation:

as it's a ratio of 4 that costs 384 dollars, divide the price by the ratio

384 / 4 = 96 dollars

96 dollars per unit of the ratio

now to get the price to refurbish the larger wood floor, times the price by the units

96 * 5 = 480
