Write the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with foci at (0, -3) and (0, 3) and a major axis of 10.

OpenStudy (legends):

Sorry I don't understand this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay\:

OpenStudy (legends):

Hope someone helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know the formula of ellipse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me too, I've been really stuck… thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\dfrac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay .the formula of ellipse is x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are two total different equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the h's and k's? I'm very confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the focus of ellipse is (ae,0) and (-ae,0)
