Question

(x^2/36) + (y^2/64) = 1

what is the length of the major axis?
Length of the minor axis?

Answer 1

Major = 16
Minor= 12

They give me the answers, but how do i get the answers?

Answer 2

a = 2* sqrt(64)

Answer 3

I mean major = 2a = 2 * sqrt (64)

Answer 4

so whatever the major axis is you square it then times by 2?

So its 64, SR of 64=8 8*2=16 Correct?

Answer 5

Based on the formula, which one greater => major (a axis)

Answer 6

Oh ok. So if it asked for the coordinates of the vertices what would the answer be?

Answer 7

Could you open the new post for different question, pls!
