Concept explainers
To write: The equation of the ellipse graphed given in standard form. Then find the coordinates of its foci.
Answer to Problem 6CFU
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The ellipse:
Calculation:
Take these in pieces and fill in the information given. Start with the basic equation:
a is under the y because the major axis is vertical.
Filling in the center
The distance from the center
The distance from the center to the top or bottom is 6, so a = 6.
This gives us:
This gives us the final equation:
