Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics and center at the origin. Foci: (±2,0)\(;\) major axis of length 10
The relation between the velocity \(y\) (in radians per second) of a pendulum and its angular displacement \(\theta\) from the vertical can be modeled by a semiellipse. A 12-centimeter pendulum crests \((y=0)\) when the angular displacement is -0.2 radian and 0.2 radian. When the pendulum is at equilibrium \((\theta=0),\) the velocity is -1.6 radians per second. (a) Find an equation that models the motion of the pendulum. Place the center at the origin. (b) Graph the equation from part (a). (c) Which half of the ellipse models the motion of the pendulum?
Use a graphing utility to graph the ellipse. Find the center, foci, and vertices. (Recall that it may be necessary to solve the equation for \(y\) and obtain two equations.) \(36 x^{2}+9 y^{2}+48 x-36 y-72=0\)
The chord perpendicular to the major axis at the center of the ellipse is called the _________ ____________ of the ellipse.
Find the standard form of the equation of the parabola with the given characteristic(s) and vertex at the origin. Vertical axis and passes through the point (-3,-3)
