Question

How can i find the x-coordinate of the center of the ellipse with the following equation?
(y+4)^2/9+(x-3)^2/18=6

Answer 1

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEBODY

Answer 2

(x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1 is the standard form for the equation of an ellipse
where (h, k) is the center.

based on that info, can you answer your question now?

Answer 3

the answer was 3 ;; but.. How?

Answer 4

if we write the equation (y+4)^2/9+(x-3)^2/18=6 in standard form,
we get:
(x-3)^2/18 + (y+4)^2/9=6

notice h=3... :)
