Question

Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse satisfying the given conditions. Foci: (0, -2), (0, 2); y-intercepts: -5 and 5
I'm lost

Answer 1

what is the standard form of equation of an ellipse?

Answer 2

There are two equation for the standard for right? The horizontal and vertical equations?

Answer 3

form*

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

^ horizontal equation?

Answer 6

you can think of the standard form of parabola when thinking of ellipse. the difference is that an ellipse is like two parabolas together, where the h and k are your vertex

Answer 7

[(x-h)^2/(a^2)]+[(y-k)^2/(b^2)]

Answer 8

=1
