OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let's see the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2/64+y^2\] where is the major axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be on the x axis from -8 to 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i lied. it would be from -4 to 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay im just dumb dont ask me its summer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no yeah it would be -8 and 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

assuming that it is equal to 1 major axis is from -8 to 8, minor axis is from -1 to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how the hell do you know this XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2/a^2 + y^2 /b^2 =1 a,b are axis, bigger is major axis, smaller is minor axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for ellipses its basically the larger of the denominators

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and you take the square root and thats your a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is why i love you people XD
