Question #5: The center of this ellipse is (4,2). The ellipse is vertically oriented. What is the distance (a) from the center (4,2) to the upper vertex of the ellipse? What is the distance (b) from the center (4,2) to the right hand vertex of the ellipse?
The equation of this ellipse is
(y-4)^2 (x-4)^2
--------- + ---------- = 1, where (a and b are determined above).
a^2 b^2
Answer:
It is important so we don't make the equation untrue
Step-by-step explanation:
If you don't balance the equation the two sides of the equation will not equal each other and make the equation untrue
