Question

what is the standard equation of ellipse with foci (±5,0). and horizontal major axis of length 14units.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to Find the Equation of the Ellipse with Foci and Major Axis

Find whether the major axis is on the x-axis or y-axis.

If major axis is on x-axis then use the equation x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1 a2x2+b2y2=1 .
