hint: we have to use this equation: \[\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1\] so we have to determine the values of the coefficients, a,and b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a would be 10 and b would be 3 ? am i correct

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

from the data of your problem we get: a=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay its the other way around

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait

your ellipse is represented by the subsequent drawing: |dw:1431547327615:dw|
