Question 84660
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^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1}}}
a=7  and b=8 Notice the x vertex goes under x and the y vertex goes under y:
{{{x^2/(7)^2+y^2/(8)^2=1}}}
{{{x^2/49+y^2/64=1}}}
Happy Calculating!!!!
