Can anyone please give me information on Rotated Ellipses its Standard form, Problems, etc? (Analytic Geometry no Calculus yet)

OpenStudy (kainui):

No calculus, but how about using matrices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still dont know about matrices sir... we are still at the intro to Conic sections in Analytic Geom

OpenStudy (kainui):

I don't really have much to say about this, as I have not taken analytic geometry. I can show how to transform an ellipse into a circle using linear algebra, however I don't think that's what you're looking for.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay sir @Kainui . thanks!

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

do you know the definition of Ellips ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

An ellipse is made by a point P moving around so that the sum of the distances from two other points (F and G) is constant. lets try to sketch in xy plane ? and give some analytic Geometry ok ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it already sir @ikram002p . What i wanna know from this moment is how to know if the ellipse is tilted or rotated by just looking on equations.

OpenStudy (kainui):

An ellipse will be tilted if it has any "cross terms" which just means it has a term where x and y are multiplied together.

finding its Foci? and vertices? how to do it sirs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sir @ikram002p that's what i meant

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

if axis of of Symmetry were parallel to x ,y axis then its Rotated
