What are the vertices of the ellipse given by:(x/5)^2+(y/9)^2=1
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-h)^2/b^2+(y-k)^2/a^2=1, a>b, (h,k) being the (x,y) coordinates of the center.
\n" ); document.write( "For given equation:
\n" ); document.write( "(x/5)^2+(y/9)^2=1
\n" ); document.write( "x^2/5^2+y^2/9^2=1
\n" ); document.write( "center(0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "a^2=9^2
\n" ); document.write( "a=9
\n" ); document.write( "vertices: (0,±a)=(0±9)=(0,-9) and (0,9) (end points of vertical major axis)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
