first find the foci then find the vertices in the quadratic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

this is an ellipse

OpenStudy (ranga):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so thats why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the table from the previous question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

basically u have 4 kinds of conic sections : 1) circle 2) parabola 3) ellipse 4) hyperbola

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok @ganeshie8 and @ranga one minute I'm solving it and I'll post my answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it so four conic shapes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they're all related, but u need to use the corresponding tables and im sure u wil see how they're related later...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for now, go ahead and use the table..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I'm using it now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

maybe figure out "a, b, c" values first

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to find out vertices, just "a" value is sufficient : vertices = \((\pm a, 0)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

foci (0,7) and (0,-7)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

a = 10 b ~ 7.14 right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry his one is HORIZONTAL

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! since a > b, its a horizontal ellipse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the foci will be (7,0) (-7,0)
