We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then 
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1

the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1

see the attached figure

What are the solutions to 0=x^2-x+1?​
kumpel [21]

Answer: No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

    There are no solutions to 0 = x² - x + 1.

[Method One]

   We can solve this by rewriting the equation, but it is quicker to graph it when there are no solutions. See attached.

[Method Two]

 I said we can solve this by solving an equation, here it is. We will use the quadratic formula since the equation given is already in the proper form.

\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

\displaystyle x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}

\displaystyle x=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{-3} }{2}

   -> Negative numbers don't have real square roots, so there is no solution
