Question

25(x-4)2 + 100 y2 = 100. Sketch the function.

Answer 1

if you divide both sides by 100, you'll get
(x-4)^2/4 + y^2 = 1

this looks like the equation for a conic... what is it?

Answer 2

btw, this equation is not a function...

Answer 3

do you know how to sketch the graph?

Answer 4

no, i do not!

Answer 5

ok. are you doing conic sections? (parabola, ellipse, hyperbola, circles)

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

do you know what conic this is? (x-4)^2/4 + y^2 = 1

Answer 8

i do not know which way should i use, but what do u think?

Answer 9

idk your question ^.

Answer 10

k thanks :)

Answer 11

fyi, this is an ellipse centered at (4,0). major axis has lenth 4, minor axis lenght2. that should get you started with your graph.
