PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! I need to figure out the equation(s) for a circle that's 6 up and down and 5 left and right. It's on a graph. The main equation he gave me was 18x^2 + 36y^2 = 648 and he said the foci was +or- 3 sqrt 2, 0. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

im trying to figure out what he means

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

If you graphed this, the y-intercepts would be 6 and -6, while the x-intercepts would be 5 and -5. What I don't understand is how to make equations out of that. It deals with foci and asymptotes and stuff like that but that's all I know.

|dw:1427205517014:dw| so like this

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

right

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

but I don't know how to get an equation out of it

OpenStudy (luffingsails):

Identify the major and minor axes first. Where is the center?

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

at 0,0 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

ok, so now what do I do?

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

@tylermcmullen23 @luffingsails

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wait, the foci was EITHER positive or negative 3?

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

ummm yeah I think so he wrote down on the paper + or - 3 sqrt 2

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

@tylermcmullen23 @luffingsails

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

@tylermcmullen23 how would you take the equation 18x^2 + 36y^2 = 648 and the foci + or - 3 sqrt 2 and make the shape of a face out of it?

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your supposed to make the shape of a face out of it??

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

yeah that's what it said

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

@tylermcmullen23

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

Is this right?

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

ugh never mind it won't let me send it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

screen capture it or type it

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

|dw:1427208154238:dw| alright I know this isn't perfect but it looks somewhat like this

OpenStudy (nerdgirl):

|dw:1427208317675:dw|Here's a better version @tylermcmullen23
