Question

Identify the equation of the ellipse. (attached photo)

Answer 1

the one that looks like
\[\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\]

Answer 2

oh damn you have to come up with the equation, don't you?

Answer 3

Yeah

Answer 4

i can't see it that well
can you tell what the center is from the picture?

Answer 5

looks like maybe \((2,-3)\) ?

Answer 6

Yes it's 2, -3

Answer 7

i wish i could be of more useful to people ;p

Answer 8

ok then we can do it
the distance between the very top and \((2,-3)\) is \(5\) units
and the the distance between \((2,3)\) and the side is \(3\) units it looks like to me

Answer 9

@RostikLegends follow along and you will learn how to find the equation of an ellipse
no one likes these problems, you could help others

Answer 10

since it looks like the one on the right, not the one on the left, the bigger number goes under the \(y^2\) term

Answer 11

put \[\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\] with \((h=2,k=-3,a=3,b=5\)

Answer 12

\[\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1\]
\[\frac{(x-2)^2}{9}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{25}=1\] should do it

Answer 13

Thank you so much! I get how you did that!!

Answer 15

great! wasn't really that hard once you know what to do
