Question

Do you recall the relationship between a, b, and c for an ellipse?  With that, you can find the two vertices!

anonymous · Answer

no i have no idea how to do this :(

You must get an idea!  You don't plan to fail this course, do you?

Somewhere, out in the world of ellipses, you have encountered a cute little formula relating the lengths of the major (a) and minor (b) axes and the distance to each vertex (c).

Find it!!
