<span>Let the major axis = 2a , and the minor axis = 2b
∴ a = 26/2 = 13 and b = 24/2 = 12
and the equation of foci:
c² = a² - b²
= 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25
∴ c = √25 = 5
∴ The distance between the foci = 2 * 5 = 10

“Times as fast” means you need to multiply the original speed (10^11) by how many times faster the faster processor works:
10^11 instructions/second • 10^3 faster = 10^14 instructions/second
The key is “___ times as fast”.
I think the answer is 9.375 if it needs to be in decimal form. If it needs to be in fraction form it would be improper, 9 3/8 would be the fraction. Hope it helps!
I am not completely sure if tis is correct. I just took 16 and multiply them for the answer B and C. hope this can help you.
