anonymous · Answer

find the major axis of the vertices of this equation 4x^2+9y^2-8x-18y-23=0

anonymous · Answer

so the major axis is the horizontal (because 9 is bigger than 4)
so take the square root of that (3)
the center is at (1,1), so move over 3 horizontally on both sides, and those are the vertices
so (1+3,1) = (4,3)
and (1-3, 1) = (-2,1)

you can do the same for the minor axis, just moving vertically up and down by 2
