I don't know how to do this problem
\n" ); document.write( "Find the coordinates of the center and foci and the lengths of the major and minor axes for the ellipse
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)^2/48+(y-1)^2/20 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Center: (-2,1)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "major axis: 2a = 2*sqrt(48) = 2*4*sqrt(3) = 8sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "minor axis: 2b = 2*sqrt(20) = 2*2*sqrt(5) = 4sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Foci = ??
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = b^2 + c^2
\n" ); document.write( "48 = 20 + c^2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "c = 2sqrt(7)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Foci: (-2-2sqrt(7) , 1) and (-2+2sqrt(7) , 1)
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
