Re: ellipse

You just posted three problems and showed no work at all. This is not the way to go in this community. Show your work. Surely you have SOME clue.

What is the basic for of the ellipse you seek.
What information is given by the intercepts?
You have vertices. Where are the foci?

Answe these questions and let's see what you get for your three solutions.
