An ellipse passes through the points 9 0 and 6 12 and is in
An ellipse passes through the points (9, 0) and (6, 12) and is in standard postion.
Assuming the equation of the ellipse is in the form
x^2/c^2 + y^2/d^2 = 1
then
c =
d =
Assuming the equation of the ellipse is in the form
x^2/c^2 + y^2/d^2 = 1
then
c =
d =
Solution
substituting (9, 0) in the given equation we get
81/c^2 =1
=>c= 9
substituting (6, 12) in the given equation we get
36/c^2 + 144/d^2 =1
=>36/81 + 144/d^2 =1
=>144/d^2= 45/81
=>d^2 = 144*9/5
=>d = 36/5
this is the correct answer pls rate A+
