Okay, thank you.

This seemed like the most appropriate place to put this question. My apologies if it is not.

If yes how so? Thank you

Homework Statement Find an equation in standard form for the conic , a)Ellipse: vertices (0,0) & (0,8), foci (0,2) & (0,6). b) hyperbola: vertices (-3,0) & (3,0), asymptotes y= ±2x Homework Equations Ellipse: (x-h)^2/b^2+(y-k)^2/a^2=1, vertices ± a from center, foci ± c from center...

Homework Statement Identify the type of conic section whose equation is given as y^2+2y=4x^2+3 Also find its vertices and foci (y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h)^2/b^2=1 Homework Equations I believe when you have x&y ^2 in an equation it can be either an ellipse or a hyperbola but if the signs are...

Thank your reply. However, I do not think that equation is relevant to this problem. This being because the only information I am given is the vertex aside from that. The vertex is in the form (h,k). Other than that x is given to me if the "vertical axis" is actually the "vertically axis of...

Homework Statement Find an equation is standard form for the conic that satisfies the given condition. Parabola: vertex (2,3), vertical axis passing through (1,5) Homework Equations vertex= (h,k) The Attempt at a Solution I know how to solve a problem like this if I was given the...

Homework Statement Elimnate the parameter to find a rectangular equation of the curve. x=sin t, y= csc t Homework Equations I believe trignometric identities are relevant to this problem. cscx=1/sinx The Attempt at a Solution csc x =1/ sin x thus y=1/x Is this the answer...

Homework Statement A curve C is defined by the parametric equation x=t^2, y=t^3-3t. a) show that C has two tangents at the point (3,0) and find their equations. b) find the points on C where the tangent is horizontal Homework Equations y-y1=m(x1-x), (dy/dt)/(dx/dt)=m, when dy/dt=0...

Homework Statement The lim as n approaches infinity for 10^n/(n+1)! Homework Equations ? The Attempt at a Solution Normally when there's is a problem with a number n raised to a power over another number n raised to a power I take the ratio of the two to get what the limit...

Homework Statement A resistor made from a shell with an inner radius r1 and an outer radius r2 hasa conductivity sigma. The current flows radially outward. 1.What direction does the E field point in. 2. Is the potential difference V2-V1 positive or negative. Homework Equations None...

Yes that's what I figured. I just thought I ought to be sure that solving it symbolically didn't take me down some other path. Thank you

Homework Statement Point "a" is "Y" meters south of a -Q C Point Charge and point "b" is "X" meters east of the charge. 1. Determine Va-Vb 2.Determine the magnitude of Ea-Eb 3.Determine the direction of Ea-Eb My problem with solving this question is that it is purely conceptual. If...
