Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Take a look at what happens when squaring either of these...
Notice a couple of patterns.
1. The last term has a positive coefficient. That rules out answer choices C and D.
2. The coefficient of the middle term is either . So what are <em>a</em> and <em>b</em>? <em>a</em> is the square root of the x^2 term and <em>b</em> is the square root of the y^2 term.
The middle coefficient needs to be either +30 or -30. The answer is choice A.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The center is halfway between vertices, at (4, -6).
It is also halfway between foci.
:::::
The vertices are vertically aligned, so the parabola is vertical.
General equation for a vertical ellipse:
(y-k)²/a² + (x-h)²/b² = 1
with
center (h,k)
vertices (h,k±a)
co-vertices (h±b,k)
foci (h,k±c), c² = a²-b²
Apply your data and solve for h, k, a, and b.
center (h,k) = (4, -6)
h = 4
k = -6
vertices (4,-6±a) = (4,-6±9)
a = 9
foci (4,-6±c) = (4,-6±5√2)
b² = a² - c² = 9² - (5√2)² = 31
b = √31
The equation becomes
(y+6)²/81 + (x-4)²/31 = 1
:::::
length of major axis = 2a = 18
length of minor axis = 2b = 2√31
