Question

Which of the following equations is of an ellipse with x-intercepts of (3, 0) and (-3, 0) and y-intercepts at (0, 1) and (0, -1)?

Answer 1

Hmm, so, looks like:

Now for such an ellipse with x-intercepts at (a,0) and (-a,0) and y-intercepts at (0,b) and (0,-b), the equation representing the ellipse is:\[\large \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\]


Use this, can you?

Answer 2

intercepts are the same no matter what the form of the equation.

when x=0, you get the y intercept
when y=0, you get the x intercepts

Answer 3

aye^
