What are the foci of the ellipse given by the equation
\n" ); document.write( "100x^2+64y^2=64,000
\n" ); document.write( "x^2/640+y^2/1000=1
\n" ); document.write( "This is an equation of an ellipse with vertical major axis.
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form: \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2=1\", a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
\n" ); document.write( "center:(0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "a^2=1000
\n" ); document.write( "b^2=640
\n" ); document.write( "c^2=a^2-b^2=1000-640=360
\n" ); document.write( "c=√360≈18.97
\n" ); document.write( "Foci: (0, 0±c)=(0,0±18.97)=(0,-18.97) and (0,18.97)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
