- If the transverse axis of a hyperbola is vertical, what do we know about the graph?arrow_forwardFind an equation for the ellipse with foci (3,0) and vertices (4,0) .arrow_forwardBy definition, an ellipse is the locus of points whose sum of distances from two fixed points F1 and F2 called foci is constant. In the grid provided, find points whose sum of distances from points F13, 0 and F2-3, 0 is 10. That is, locate some points for which PF1+PF2=10; point P5, 0 is one such point. Then sketch the ellipse.arrow_forward
