\n" ); document.write( "Hi
\n" ); document.write( " Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where Pt(h,k) is the center and a and b are the respective vertices distances from center.
\n" ); document.write( "endpoints of the major axis: (1,-5), (1,11)
\n" ); document.write( " \"%28x-1%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-3%29%5E2%2F8%5E2+=+1\" C(1,3)
\n" ); document.write( "foci are along the major axis: need to determine that major axis
\n" ); document.write( "foci are (1,1), (1,5) F = 2 \"sqrt%2864-60%29+=+sqrt%284%29\" = 2
\n" ); document.write( " \"%28x-1%29%5E2%2F60+%2B+%28y-3%29%5E2%2F64+=+1+\"
