F(2)= 4(16) - 6(4) + 8(2) - 15
F(2)= 64 -24 + 16 - 15
F(2)= 41
27 is 2/3 of 40 1/2.
Do 27divided by 2/3 to get it
#2, Y=8, x=3
because if you subsitute those variables in,
8=3+5
4x3+8=20
Answer: The equation of an ellipse:

;
a

Has foci at
(
h

√
a
2
−
b

Use the vertices to write 3 equations:
k
=

[1]
h
−
a
=
−

[2]
h
+
a
=
10
[3]
Use equations [2] and [3] to solve for h and a:
2
h
=
4
h
=
2
a
=
8
Use the focus to write another equation:
8
=
h
+
√
a
2
−
b

Substitute values for h and a:
8
