If the ellipse given by ((x - 3)^2)/5^2 + ((y - 2)^2)/3^2 = 1 is shifted two units up, what is the translated equation?
\[\frac{ (x-3 ^2)}{ 5^2}+\frac{( y-2^2) }{ 5^2 }=1\]
@Michele_Laino
((x - 3)^2)/5^2 + ((y - 2)^2)/5^2 = 1
Thats A
((x - 1)^2)/5^2 + ((y - 2)^2)/3^2 = 1 Thats B
((x - 3)^2)/5^2 + ((y - 4)^2)/3^2 = 1 This is C
((x - 5)^2)/5^2 + ((y - 2)^2)/3^2 = 1 is D
if we perform this traslation: x-3=X y-2=Y where X and Y are the new coordinates, then we can rewrite your ellipse as below: \[\frac{{{X^2}}}{{25}} + \frac{{{Y^2}}}{9} = 1\]
(x-3)^2/25+y-2/9=1?
the origin of the new coordinate system XOY is located at this point (3,2)
please wait it is the first step only
ok
|dw:1429614303327:dw|
now if I perform the traslation indicated by your problem, namely: X'=X Y?=Y-1 where X' and Y' are new coordinates, then we have: |dw:1429614497293:dw| In that new reference system X?OY? your ellipse is: \[\frac{{X{'^2}}}{{25}} + \frac{{Y' + {1^2}}}{9} = 1\]
now we have: y-2=Y'+2 or Y'=y-4 and x-3=X' so substituting, we get: \[\Large \frac{{{{\left( {x - 3} \right)}^2}}}{{25}} + \frac{{{{\left( {y - 4} \right)}^2}}}{9} = 1\] sorr y the new coordinates, are: X'=X and Y?=Y-2
oops..Y'=Y-2
ok
|dw:1429614900427:dw|
