Write an exquartion of an elipse with verticies (-7,0) and (7,0) and co- verticies (0,-8) and (0,8).
The equation of an ellipse centered at 0 is:
x%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2By%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1
a=7 and b=8 Notice the x vertex goes under x and the y vertex goes under y:
x%5E2%2F%287%29%5E2%2By%5E2%2F%288%29%5E2=1
x%5E2%2F49%2By%5E2%2F64=1
Happy Calculating!!!!
