Question

Find the vertices, foci, and eccentricity of the ellipse.
56x^2 + 7y^2 = 8

Answer 1

Hello,
The first approach to Ellipse is to understand it's structure.

\[\frac{ x^2 }{ a^2 }+\frac{ y^2 }{ b^2 }=1\]

\[\frac{ y^2 }{ a^2 }+\frac{ x^2 }{ b^2 }=1\]

center: (h,k)
Focus/Foci: (±c,0)
Vertex/Vertices: (±a,0)
