Answer:
responses
type 1
a reduction in the price of alternative vegetable oils alongside an influx of olive oil producers into the market
type 2
a news report suggesting that olive oil consumption enhances health along with a decline in the supply of olives due to a disappointing harvest
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) 4 <span>(b) y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) </span>The most accurate assumption for the equation based on the general format for an ellipse is: [[TAG_3]]x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_4]](a). An ellipse is symmetrical along both its major and minor axes. Thus, if you can calculate the area of the ellipse in one quadrant, multiplying that area by 4 will yield the total area of the ellipse, confirming the factor of 4 is accurate. [[TAG_5]] (b). The standard equation for an ellipse doesn't adequately represent a general function as it results in two y values for each x value. However, if we constrain ourselves to the positive square root, that issue can be resolved easily. Here’s how: [[TAG_6]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 = 1 [[TAG_7]] x^2/16 + y^2/9 - 1 = 0 [[TAG_8]] x^2/16 - 1 = - y^2/9 [[TAG_9]] -(9/16)x^2 + 9 = y^2 [[TAG_10]] 9 - (9/16)x^2 = y^2 [[TAG_11]] sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2) = y [[TAG_12]] y = sqrt(9 - (9/16)x^2)
