Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the ellipse represented by
25x^2 + 16y^2 -160y = 0
find the vertices on major axis
----------------
Complete the square on the y terms.
---------------------------------
25x^2 + 16(y^2 - 10y + 25) = 16*25
--------
25x^2 + 16(y-5)^2 = 400
-----
x^2/16 + (y-5)^2/25 = 1
----
Center at (0,5)
Vertices on major axis: (0,5-5) (0,5+5)
-------------------
Ans: (0,0) and (0,10)
======================
