The given equation is:

Comparing this to the standard equation, we get:



We find that the centre of the ellipse given by (h,k) is equal to (3, 4)

The foci of the Ellipse is given by (+- ae, 0)

So we first find the eccentricity using the formula:

e =

e =

e = 3/5

So now focus is: (+- ae, 0) = (+ -3, 0)

Now the vertex is (+ - a, 0) = (+- 5, 0)

hence, the solution
