Question

Which points are the vertices of the ellipse? points N and P points O and P points Q and R points S and T

Answer 1

Answer:

points S and T

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices are the endpoints of the major axis, the axis through the foci, which are points N and P for this ellipse.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 4. Points S and T are the vertices of the ellipse.

Step-by-step explanation:

The end points of the major axis are called vertices of the ellipse and the end points of minor axis are called co-vertices.

The standard form of an ellipse is

$\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1$

If a>b, then vertices are (± a,0) and co-vertices are (0, ± b).

If a<b, then vertices are (0, ± b) and co-vertices are (± a,0).

From the given figure it is clear that major axis is ST and minor axis is QR. So, points S and T are vertices and points Q and R are co-vertices of the ellipse.

Since the end points of the major axis are called vertices of the ellipse, therefore the point S and T are the vertices of the ellipse.
