95. We know that the center of the ellipse is at (0,0) since the equation is in standard form. Let's call the distance from the center to point A "d". Using the distance formula, we have:

d = sqrt((√6 cos 8 - 0)^2 + (√2 sin 8 - 0)^2)
d = sqrt(6cos^2 8 + 2sin^2 8)
d = sqrt(6(cos^2 8 + sin^2 8) + 2(sin^2 8))
d = sqrt(6 + 4sin^2 8)

Since we know d = 2, we can set up the following equation:

2 = sqrt(6 + 4sin^2 8)

Solving for sin^2 8, we get:

sin^2 8 = (2^2 - 6)/4
sin^2 8 = -1/2

This is not possible since the range of sin is [-1, 1]. Therefore, there must be an error in the problem statement.

96. We can rearrange the given equation to get:

2x^2 + 4x - 3y^2 + 6y = 1

Completing the square for the x-terms, we add (4/2)^2 = 4 to both sides:

2(x+1)^2 - 3y^2 + 6y = 5

Simplifying, we have:

2(x+1)^2 - 3(y-1)^2 = 8

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

(x+1)^2/4 - (y-1)^2/(8/3) = 1

This is the equation of an ellipse, so the answer is (d) Ellipse.

97. The latus rectum of a hyperbola is defined as the line segment through a focus of the hyperbola perpendicular to the major axis, and its length is equal to 2b^2/a, where a and b are the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively.

We are given that 2b^2/a = 18, and we know that c, the distance between the foci, is 12. Since the conjugate axis is parallel to the y-axis, we have the equation:

y^2/a^2 - x^2/b^2 = 1

The distance between the foci is related to a, b, and c by the equation:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Substituting c = 12 and solving for b^2 in terms of a^2, we get:

b^2 = c^2 - a^2
b^2 = 144 - a^2

Substituting this into the equation for the latus rectum, we get:

2(144 - a^2)/a = 18
288 - 2a^2 = 18a
2a^2 + 18a - 288 = 0
(a+12)(2a-24) = 0

Since a cannot be negative, we have a = 12. Substituting this into the equation for b^2, we get:

b^2 = 144 - 12^2 = 144 - 144/4 = 108

Therefore, the length of the transverse axis is 2a = 24, and the answer is (b) 3.

98. We can rearrange the given equation to get:

9x^2 - 36x + 4y^2 - 8y + 4 = 0

Completing the square for the x-terms, we add (36/2)^2 = 324 to both sides:

9(x-2)^2 + 4y^2 - 8y + 328 = 324

Simplifying, we have:

9(x-2)^2 + 4(y-1)^2 = 8

Dividing both sides by 8 and taking the square root, we get:

[(x-2)^2]/(8/9) + [(y-1)^2]/2 = 1

This is the equation of an ellipse, so it is not a hyperbola. Therefore, there must be an error in the problem statement.

99. We can use the formula for the height of a parabolic arch at a certain distance from its vertex:

h = (w/8d)(w - d)

where h is the height of the arch, w is the width of the span, and d is the distance from the vertex to the center of the span.

In this case, w = 40ft and d = 20ft, so we have:

h = (40/8(20))(40 - 20)
h = (1/4)(20) = 5

Therefore, the height of the smallest arch that can be used is 10ft (the required clearance) plus 5ft = 15ft. However, this answer is not one of the choices given, so there may be an error in the problem statement.

100. Since the directrix is the line x = 4, the focus is at (-4,0) (the same distance from the vertex as the directrix). The standard equation for a parabola with vertex at the origin is:

y^2 = 4px

where p is the distance from the vertex to the focus (and from the vertex to the directrix).

In this case, p = 4, so we have:

y^2 = 16x

Therefore, the answer is (b) y^2 = 16x.
