How to figure out the vertices and properties of the ellipse?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The vertices occur at x=sqrt%286%29, x=-sqrt%286%29,y=sqrt%2811%29,and y=-sqrt%2811%29.
The foci occur at
c%5E2=b%5E2-a%5E2
c%5E2=11-6
c%5E2=5
So then the foci are located at x=0,y=-sqrt%285%29 and x=0,y=sqrt%285%29. that is, on the y-axis.
