The formula of a midpoint between E and F:

$M_{EF}\left(\dfrac{x_E+x_F}{2};\ \dfrac{y_E+y_F}{2}\right)$

We have the points $\left(\dfrac{3}{5},\ -\dfrac{6}{7}\right)$ and $\left(\dfrac{2}{5},\ \dfrac{5}{7}\right)$ . Substitute:

$\dfrac{\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{5}{5}}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\\dfrac{-\frac{6}{7}+\frac{5}{7}}{2}=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{7}}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{7}\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{14}$

Answer: $\boxed{\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ -\dfrac{1}{14}\right)}$

Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin, which has foci at (0,\pm\sqrt{63})(0,± 63 )left parenthesis, 0, comma

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\frac{x^{2} }{4312 } + \frac{y^{2} }{8281 }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the foci are at(0,±c) = (0,±63) and vertices (0,±a) = (0,±91), the major axis is the y- axis. So, we have the equation in the form (with center at the origin) $\frac{x^{2} }{b^{2} } + \frac{y^{2} }{a^{2} }$ .
