Graph the ellipse and locate the foci ?
X^2/64 + y^2/16 = 1
***
Given ellipse has a horizontal major axis with center at (0,0)
Its standard form of equation: , a>b
For given ellipse:
a^2=64
a=8
b^2=16
b=4
c^2=a^2-b^2=64-16=48
c=√48≈6.93
foci:(0±c,0)=(±6.93,0)=(-6.93,0) and (6.93,0)
see graph below:
y=±(16-x^2/4)^.5
