Question

what is the standard form equation of the ellipse with vertices at (0 6) and (0 -6) and co-vertices at (4 0) and (-4 0)..?

Answer 1

standard form:
\[\frac{y^2}{a^2} + \frac{x^2}{b^2} = 1\]
Note: "a" is under the y term because it is length of vertical axis

Answer 2

sweet @dumbcow sir..... but just concerns me as that's not in my options

Answer 3

well now thats no good
a^2 = 36
b^2 = 16
right

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

i know it has to be B.... right @dumbcow ?

Answer 6

yes i just switched the order ... yeah standard form wants the "x" to come first

Answer 7
