How do you find the coordinates of the center, foci, the length of the major and minor axis given #y^2/10+x^2/5=1#?
1 Answer
The center is
The length of the major axis is
The length of the minor axis is
The foci are at
Explanation:
Please observe the denominator of the y term (10) is greater than the denominator of the x term (5). The standard form for an ellipse of this type is:
The center of the ellipse is the point
The value of
The value of
The focal distance is,
The foci are located at
Put the given equation in this form:
The center is
The length of the major axis is
The length of the minor axis is
The foci are at
