Question

give information about the foci and vertices of
ellipses centered at the origin of the xy-plane. In each case, find the
ellipse’s standard-form equation from the given information. Foci: (0, ±4) Vertices: (0, ±5)

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

We have to give information about the foci and vertices of
ellipses centered at the origin of the XY-plane.

 

After that, we have to find the ellipse’s standard-form equation from the given information.

Foci: (0, ±4) Vertices: (0, ±5)

Step 2

We have given information that the ellipse is centered at the origin 

and major axis is parallel to the x-axis

so we know that

If a>b

the equation of the ellipse will be

x2a2+y2b2=1

 foci =( ± c , 0 )  where  c2=a2b2

vertices =  ( ± a , 0 )
