What is the equation of the ellipse with foci (0, 6), (0, -6) and co-vertices (2, 0), (-2, 0)?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i have no idea how to do this :(

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

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!!
