Find the end points of the minor and major axis for the graph of the ellipse


(x−4)^2/25+(y−7)^2/64=1

Highest point on the major axis:
Lowest point on the major axis:
Rightmost point on the minor axis:
Leftmost point on the minor axis:
Highest focal point:
Lowest focal point:

Find the end points of the minor and major axis for the graph of the ellipse

(x−4)^2/25+(y−7)^2/64=1
Center at (4,7)
Major axis is vertical.
----------------------------
Highest point on the major axis: (4,7+8)
Lowest point on the major axis: (4,7-8)
--------------------------------------------------
Rightmost point on the minor axis: (4+5,7)
Leftmost point on the minor axis: (4-5,7)
----------------------------------------------
c^2 = a^2-b^2 = 64-25 = 39
c = sqrt(39)
Highest focal point: (4,7+sqrt(39))
Lowest focal point: (4,7-sqrt(39))
------------
