Question

Help

Answer 1

part I) the vertices are on the y-axis so we would say it's oriented along the y-axis

Answer 2

part II) center is midpoint of vertices as usual

Answer 3

(0,0)

Answer 4

and then -5 5

Answer 5

or would it be 5 0

Answer 6

for ellipses, a is half the major axis

since the major axis is the distance between the vertices, what is a?

Answer 7

5

Answer 8

good, a is 5, and since they give us the minor axis (8) b is just (1/2) of 8 which is 4

so part III) a = 5 b = 4

Answer 9

part IV) the center is (0,0) so the values of h and k are 0 and 0

plug a and b into this equation

Answer 10

wait h and k is 0 right

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

y^2/25-x^2/16=1

Answer 13

i did the same process as before

Answer 14

a is 5 b is 4, just switch the denominators

Answer 15

got it

Answer 16

also this is an ellipse not a hyperbola, there needs to be a + sign not a - sign

Answer 17

x^2/16+ y^2/25 = 1

your equation

Answer 18

perfect ! =) Thank you so much that is what I got
