The standard form of the equation of the ellipse whose major axis length
Answer to Problem 23E
The standard form of the equation of the ellipse is
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Given major axis length
Since foci
The centre is midpoints of foci
Thus, stand equation of ellipse is
Given length of major axis
Since distance between the centre and foci is
And we also we have
Substitute
Hence, the standard form of the equation of the ellipse is
