3.There are two fruit trees located at (3,0) and (–3, 0) in the backyard plan. Maurice wants to use these two fruit trees as the focal points for an elliptical flowerbed. Johanna wants to use these two fruit trees as the focal points for some hyperbolic flowerbeds. Create the location of two vertices on the y-axis. Show your work creating the equations for both the horizontal ellipse and the horizontal hyperbola. Include the graph of both equations and the focal points on the same coordinate plane.

im failing math so i dont think i will be of any help... english and history are my strong points. sorry.

the main reason i am confused is that to create the ellipses you would need all 4 points to be x axis based yet this question tells me that two are on the x axis and the other two are along the y axis....so i am stumped
