Graph the following: (x+6) squared/16+ (y-7) squared/4 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "(x+6)^2/16+(y-7)^2/4=1
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation of an ellipse with horizontal major axis of the standard form:
\n" ); document.write( "(x-h)^2/a^2+(y-k)^2/b^2=1, (a>b), (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
\n" ); document.write( "For given equation:
\n" ); document.write( "center: (-6,7)
\n" ); document.write( "a^2=16
\n" ); document.write( "a=4
\n" ); document.write( "length of major axis=2a=8
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "b^2=4
\n" ); document.write( "b=2
\n" ); document.write( "length of minor axis=2b=4
\n" ); document.write( "..
\n" ); document.write( "see graph below:
\n" ); document.write( "(y-7)^2/4=1-(x+6)^2/16
\n" ); document.write( "(y-7)^2=4-(x+6)^2/4
\n" ); document.write( "(y-7)=√(4-(x+6)^2/4)
\n" ); document.write( "y=±(4-(x+6)^2/4)^.5+7\r
