Find the center, vertices, co-vertices, foci, major axis, and minor axis of the ellipse... (x+3)^2/9 + (y+1)^2/100 = 1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

major is the y=-1 minor then is x=-3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

center = (-3,-1) then :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we have 10 and 3 as distances from center to vertices verts = (-3,9)(-3,-11) co-verts = (0,-1)(-6,-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and is foci (-3-sqrt(109), -1) (-3+sqrt(109), -1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sqrt(91) i believe

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sqrt(100-9)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and its along the y axis; not the x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

foci = (-3,-1-sqrt(91))(-3,-1+sqrt(91))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhh ok well i almost got it! :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you was thiiiiiss close lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):
