Question

Find the standard form of the equation of the elippse with the vertices at (0 +_8) and foci at (0 _+-5)

Answer 1

seem like this a ellipse with a vertical major axis, since the changes occur in the y coodinate

Answer 2

recall the equation c^2=a^2-b^2

Answer 3

use that to find the coordinates of the eliipse where it crosses the x-axis

Answer 4

then you should be able to form you equation
