Question

i wanna ask a question too :)

Answer 1

what? now post in the chat for me? lol

Answer 2

i was robbed lol

Answer 3

hey can you help me with a question?

Answer 4

where is it? or what is it? :)

Answer 5

i have to find center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, and eccentricity of an ellipse

Answer 6

eccentricity = .... c/a? gotta look that up again lol

Answer 7

ok thats fine but i have no idea i wasnt in school when this was taught lol

Answer 8

its c/a :) or distance from center to focus/ distance from center to edge

Answer 9

whats the ellipse you got?

Answer 10

(x-3)^2/16 + (y+6)^2/4 = 1

Answer 11

ellipse has the major axis corresponds to the bigger number on bottom; for this thats the x component right?

Answer 12

i think thats the b value

Answer 13

center = 3,-6 and it rides parallel to the x axis

a = major axis; and b is the minor axis

a = sqrt.16 = 4
b = sqrt.4 = 2

vertexes are (7,-6)(-1,-6)

Answer 14

the minor vertexes are (3,-4)(3,-8)

Answer 15

the eccentricity = sqrt(16+4)/4

Answer 16

eccentricity = sqrt.5

Answer 17

i got that wrong lol

Answer 18

sqrt(16 - 4)/4

sqrt.12/4

sqrt.3 = eccentricity

Answer 19

sqrt(3)
------ ; ill learn to do this eventually lol
2

Answer 20

haha ok so the eccentricity is sqrt3/2? or just sqrt 3

Answer 21

when i do it correctly; and that a big when; it should be sqrt(3)/2

Answer 22

alright

Answer 23

sqrt(hyp-leg)/hyp

Answer 24

what about foci?
