what is the equation for this conic section with An ellipse with vertices (-4, 0) and (4, 0) and a minor axis of length 6.
**
This is an ellipse with horizontal major axis. (x-coordinate changes but y-coordinates do not)Its standard form of equation: , a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
..
For given ellipse:
center: (0,0)
length of horizontal major axis=8=2a
a=4
a^2=16
length of minor axis=6=2b
b=3
b^2=9
Equation of given ellipse:
