@Mehek14 I know I've tagged you in this like 4 times so I'm sorry but do you know how to do an equation for an ellipse

Hola! Let me take a look.

Okay, I have no idea xD

Okay, Maurice wants to create a set of elliptical flower beds. To do this, he first plots the location of the two fruit trees on his graph. Maurice has to use the equation a^2-b^2=c^2. We know that c=3, and because we need 1 more number to solve for b, I made a=6. 6^2-b^2=3^2. 36-b^2=9. b^2=27. b=5.196 Next, to create the equation, we substitute what we know into the equation x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2=1 and get x^2/36 + y^2/27=1. Johanna wants to create some hyperbolic flower beds. We already know that c=3 so this time I decided a=1. 3^2=1^2+b^2. 9=1+b^2. 8=b^2. b=2.828 Next, to create the equation, we substitute what we know to the equation x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1. x^2/1^2 - y^2/2.828^2 = 1.

again with the paragraphs XD

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

yes :)

So just say that he needs to plot two locations on a graph. Maurice has to use the equation a^2-b^2=c^2. We know that c=3, a=6. 6^2-b^2=3^2. 36-b^2=9. b^2=27. b=5.196. Now we have to substitute what we know into the equation x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2=1 and get x^2/36 + y^2/27=1. We already know that c=3 so this time I decided a=1. 3^2=1^2+b^2. 9=1+b^2. 8=b^2. b=2.828 Next, to create the equation, we substitute what we know to the equation x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1. x^2/1^2 - y^2/2.828^2 = 1.

Should be the whole question :)
