Can anyone help me PLEASE ; find the center, vertices, and foci of this ellipse. 1.(x+6)^2/12+(y-4)^2/16=1 4.x^2+4y^2+8x-48=0
@rsadhvika thanks alot. what formula do i use for number 4?
you figured out first one ?
working on it now . I'm trying !
careful first one if of form :- \(\large \frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2} = 1 \)
so you need to use formulas from last column in the given table ok
ok
did u get, why it is of that form ? :)
not yet !
well it is of that form cuz, 12 < 16 so \(b\) goes under x-thing
ok , i got lost on the whole assignment. I guess I have been doing it work . :(
First step is you need to figure out, which form the given ellipse equation is.
once you're clear about that, rest is bit easy
1.(x+6)^2/12+(y-4)^2/16=1 \(\large \frac{(x+6)^2}{12} + \frac{(y-4)^2}{16} = 1\) \(\large \frac{(x+6)^2}{(\sqrt{12})^2} + \frac{(y-4)^2}{4^2} = 1\)
since 12 under x, is less than 16 you need to use formulas from last column. a = 4 b = \(\sqrt{12}\) h = -6 k = 4
once u digest above, let me knw
ok.
i think i have it .
