Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the center is (0,0)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

this is of the form\[x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1\] yeah center=(0,0) coordinates of vertices for this type of ellipse is\[(\pm a,0)\] now can u find out a?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

just compare the given ellipse with the standard equation

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

u'll find \[a^2=400\rightarrow a=20\] and \[b^2=625\rightarrow b=25\] getting this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^2/36 right?

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

why y^2/36 ?
