Find the center, vertices, and foci for the ellipse 25x^2 + 64y^2 = 1600

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Equation               25x² + 64y² = 1600

Process

1.- Divide all the equation by 1600

                             25x²/1600 + 64y²/ 1600 = 1600/1600

-Simplify

                              x²/64 + y²/ 25 = 1

2.- Equation of a horizontal ellipse

3.- Find a, b and c

    a² = 64             a = 8

    b² = 25             b = 5

-Calculate c with the Pythagorean theorem

                   a² = b² + c²

-Solve for c

                   c² = a² - b²

-Substitution

                   c² = 8² - 5²

-Simplification

                  c² = 64 - 25

                  c² = 39

-Result

                  c = √13

4.- Find the center

          C = (0, 0)

5.- Find the vertices

          V1 = (-8, 0)     V2 = (8, 0)

6.- Find the foci

          F1 = (-√13, 0)   F2 = (√13, 0)

step-by-step explanation:

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
