first find the foci then find the vertices in the quadratic
@ganeshie8 I tried to solve this one using the hyperbola table from the previous question but I couldn't, because the sign here is +ve please let me know if you can help.
this is an ellipse
This is the equation of an ellipse (not hyperbola). \[\frac{ x^2 }{ a^2} + \frac{ y^2 }{ b^2} = 1\] Compare the given equation to the standard form and identify a, b, the center of the ellipse, etc.
ok so thats why
this is the table from the previous question
basically u have 4 kinds of conic sections : 1) circle 2) parabola 3) ellipse 4) hyperbola
ok @ganeshie8 and @ranga one minute I'm solving it and I'll post my answer
got it so four conic shapes
they're all related, but u need to use the corresponding tables and im sure u wil see how they're related later...
for now, go ahead and use the table..
yes I'm using it now
maybe figure out "a, b, c" values first
to find out vertices, just "a" value is sufficient : vertices = \((\pm a, 0)\)
foci (0,7) and (0,-7)
nope
a = 10 b ~ 7.14 right ?
oh sorry his one is HORIZONTAL
Yes ! since a > b, its a horizontal ellipse
this*
so the foci will be (7,0) (-7,0)
