units long and is parallel to the x axis, the minor axis
is 20 units long, and has a center at (9, 1)
Question 1031566: Write the equation of an ellipse if the major axis is 22
units long and is parallel to the x axis, the minor axis
is 20 units long, and has a center at (9, 1) Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of an ellipse if the major axis is 22
units long and is parallel to the x axis, the minor axis
is 20 units long, and has a center at (9, 1)
The equation of an ellipse with major axis parallel to
the x-axis
is:
where the center is (h,k)
where a = one-half the major axis
and b = one-half the minor-axis.
Now all you have to do is substitute for h, k, a and b.
