All correct, up to foci. The only point is that centre is at (h,k), not (k,h).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I believe you missed out the minor vertices.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The major axis is vertical, so major vertices are \((h, k\pm b)\) Similarly, the minor vertices are \((h\pm a, k)\)

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The foci should be on the major axis, so you're good.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Oh, sorry, I missed it. :( For a vertical major axis, only the y varies, so foci would be \((h,k\pm b)\). For a horizontal major axis, only the x varies, so foci would be \((h\pm a,k)\).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Correction: change the a & b to c

OpenStudy (mathmate):

For a vertical major axis, only the y varies, so foci would be (h,k±c). For a horizontal major axis, only the x varies, so foci would be (h±c,k).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

No, your other answers are good, they do not depend on the foci location.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

You're welcome and it's a pleasure to work with you! :)
