Question

Draw the ellipse 5(? − 1)
2 + 4(? − 1)
2 = 25, labeling all important information.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Consider the ellipse 

5x12+4y12=25

 

 

Step 2

Standard form of an ellipse is given by 

xh2a2+yk2b2=1

Where 

center = (h,k)

If a>b then semi major axis = a , semi minor axis =b

If a<b then semi major axis = b , semi minor axis =a

If a>b

Foci = h±c,k

If a<b

foci = h,k±c
