Re: equation for ellipse

write an equation for the ellipse with end points of the major axis at (7,1) and (-7,1) and end points of the minor axis at (0,5) and (0,-3)

Where is the center of the ellipse (x[sub:3bq65w7w]1[/sub:3bq65w7w],y[sub:3bq65w7w]1[/sub:3bq65w7w])?

What is the length of the axis parallel to x-axis(2a)?

What is the length of the axis parallel to y-axis (2b)?

The simple equation of an ellipse is:

(x-x[sub:3bq65w7w]1[/sub:3bq65w7w])[sup:3bq65w7w]2[/sup:3bq65w7w]/a[sup:3bq65w7w]2[/sup:3bq65w7w] + (y-y[sub:3bq65w7w]1[/sub:3bq65w7w])[sup:3bq65w7w]2[/sup:3bq65w7w]/b[sup:3bq65w7w]2[/sup:3bq65w7w] = 1

Once you have learned the basics, please attempt this exercise. If you get stuck, you will then be able to reply with a clear listing of your work and reasoning so far.

Thank you!
