Answer:

\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the ellipse is

\dfrac{(x-x_0)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-y_0)^2}{b^2}=1,

where (x_0,y_0) are the coordinates of the center.

If the vertices of an ellipse are at A(1, 5) and B(1, -5), then the center is the midpoint of the segment AB. Hence, the center has coordinates

\left(\dfrac{1+1}{2},\dfrac{5+(-5)}{2}\right)=(1,0).

The coordinates of the vertices satisfy the equation:

\dfrac{(1-1)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(5-0)^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow b^2=25.

If (3, 0) is a point on the ellipse, then its coordinates satisfy the equation:

\dfrac{(3-1)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(0-0)^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow a^2=4.

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is

\dfrac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\dfrac{y^2}{25}=1.

Can someone help me?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.
