so the foci are at $\bf (\pm 5, 0)$  and the co-vertices are at $\bf (0,\pm 4)$

so.... where do you think the center of is at?

I'm not sure...

jdoe0001 · Answer

well... put those points in the cartesian plane... notice where the center would be

keep in mind that vertices and/or co-vertices as well as foci are equidistants from the center of the ellipse

I'm not sure... I'm not good at math and it's extremely difficult for me...
