Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation \(2x^2 + 8y^2 = 16\) options: http://prntscr.com/6snz9q
You know to get to the standard equation right?
\(\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1\)
Divide both sides to get it equal to 1: \(\Large \frac{ 2x^2}{16}+\frac{8y^2}{16} =1 \) Simplify: \(\Large \frac{x^2}{8} +\frac{y^2}{2} =1\)
Now that we got it there we can look for the vertices and everything else that makes an ellipse an ellipse
This isn't shifted at all, so you can guess the center right?
0, 0
Right, now the vertices depend on the major axis, do you know which axis is the major one?
Horizontal?
If horizontal means x, then yes xD
Now we need to find those vertices, a, but we have a^2, so taking the square root: \(\large \pm 2\sqrt{2} \)
And remembering where they're placed \(\Large (\color{red}{x}, ~y ) \)
D?
I would love to believe so :P
:)
You can find the foci if you want, but there's only one option as to what it could be ~
lol @jagr2713 :P
