hi lost connection
it's ok np :P could u double-check what i have so far and if i have any wrong could u guide me through 2 see what i did wrong?
center is of course right vertices are right
major axis is right
not too hard right? since \(12^2=144\) and \(2\times 12=24\)
minor axis is also right as \(5^2=25\) adn \(2\times 5=10\)
yeah :p got that, and minor axis is 10 :P did i get the foci's right tho?
foci we need \(c\) you get \(c^2=144-25=119\) making \(c=\sqrt{119}\) whatever that is
k yeah that's 10.908 ~ 10.91
so it will be \((-5,7-\sqrt{119})\) and \((-5+\sqrt{119})\) as the foci
ok typo there
\((-5,7+\sqrt{119})\)
(-5, 7 - 10.91) (-5, 7 + 10.91) so the foci's will be: (-5, -3.91) and (-5,17.91) right?
you dropped the minus sign in the vertices in your answer above
maybe that was just a typo
yeah, your foci are correct too
k thx :) just wanted to make sure since I'm taking a final :P
lol good luck!
lol thx :D got 6 more questions out of 53 left :p
jeez have fun
Lol thx i've only been at this final for like 105 minutes so not bad :P has felt like hardly anything so far :) and thx :)
