\frac{X^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{25}=1The length of the major axis is: 5 10 25

LootAtTheTime:

SOrry Im Depending on you to much @Zowie

Zowie:

Yeah. I have no clue what that says. XD Sorry. Re-type it.

LootAtTheTime:

@zowie im ded

LootAtTheTime:

GIve me a sec

Zowie:

Why? Okay.

LootAtTheTime:

math is killed me x.x

LootAtTheTime:

(x^2/16)+(y^2/25)=1

LootAtTheTime:

The length of the major axis is: 5 10 25

Zowie:

Did you graph this?

LootAtTheTime:

Yeah, but I couldnt figure what the major axis was :L

Zowie:

Do you know how to find it?

LootAtTheTime:

No, sadly ;-;

Zowie:

Okay well when you graph it it looks like this: http://prntscr.com/gnjeil Remember Major is the longer side and minor is the shorter side. So In this case the vertical axis or the y-axis is the major since it is longer. Then you simply count how long/wide it is. Try it and tell me what you get.

LootAtTheTime:

Am I stating the point at which it is or like how long it is. If it's how long it would be 5 or -5 or it would be (0,5) , (0.-5)

LootAtTheTime:

Did I get that right?

Zowie:

You can start at either point (0,5) or (0,-5) and then you would count to the other side of the oval. http://prntscr.com/gnjheu If that drawing even makes sense.

LootAtTheTime:

OHHHHH, I get it now.

LootAtTheTime:

So the answer would then be twelve?

LootAtTheTime:

Tysm once again you explained it perfectly. :D

LootAtTheTime:

Im am so grateful :D

Zowie:

Ofc! <3 Anytime.

Vocaloid:

12 is not even one of the answer choices It should be the square root of the larger denominator then times 2

LootAtTheTime:

I got it :D dont worry

LootAtTheTime:
