Write the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin with foci at (0, -3) and (0, 3) and a major axis of 10.
***
Given ellipse has a vertical major axis. (gleaned from given foci coordinates)
Its standard form of equation. , a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of center
..
given length of vertical major axis=10=2a
a=5
a^2=25
b=3 (distance from center to foci)
b^2=9
Equation of given ellipse:
