I need help graphing the ellipse and finding the foci of the following equation: 5x^2+y^2=25
-----------
Divide thru by 25 to get: x^2/5 + y^2/25 = 1
a = sqrt(25)=5 ; b = sqrt(5)
Therefore c = sqrt(a^2+b^2) = sqrt(25+5) = sqrt(30)
-----------------------------------
Center is at (0,0)
Major-axis vertices are: (0,5) and (0,-5)
Minor-axis vertices are: (sqrt(5),0) and (-sqrt(5),0)
Foci:(0,sqrt(30)) and (0,-sqrt(30))

lets get this in the right form
:

:

:
the foci are at (0,plus and minus c) where c=sqrt(a^2+b^2)
so ..so foci are at (0,sqrt(30) and (0,-sqrt(30))
:
major axis is at (0,5) and(0-5) minor axis at (sqrt(5),0)(-sqrt(5),0)
