To describe: and correct the error in the given graphing of ellipse.
Error: The values of vertices and co-vertices are incorrect.
Correct graph:
Given information:
The equation of the ellipse is
The given graph is:
Formula Used:
Standard equation of an Ellipse with Center at the Origin
Equation | Major Axis | Vertices | Co-vertices |
Horizontal | |||
Vertical |
The major and minor axes are of the lengths
Explanation:
The given equation of the ellipse is
Here, it can be observed that the denominator of
So, in this case the major axis is vertical.
And the vertices in this case are:
The error in the given graph is that the values of vertices here are
The correct graph is:
