Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Data

Equation               25x² + 64y² = 1600

Process

1.- Divide all the equation by 1600

                            25x²/1600 + 64y²/ 1600 = 1600/1600

-Simplify

                             x²/64 + y²/ 25 = 1

2.- Equation of a horizontal ellipse

                            

3.- Find a, b and c

   a² = 64             a = 8

   b² = 25             b = 5

-Calculate c with the Pythagorean theorem

                  a² = b² + c²

-Solve for c

                  c² = a² - b²

-Substitution

                  c² = 8² - 5²

-Simplification

                 c² = 64 - 25

                 c² = 39

-Result

                 c = √13

4.- Find the center

         C = (0, 0)

5.- Find the vertices

         V1 = (-8, 0)     V2 = (8, 0)

6.- Find the foci

         F1 = (-√13, 0)   F2 = (√13, 0)
