We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1
the answer is
y²/289+x²/225=1

Jenny is incorrect in her calculation.
For every time that Jenny's brother washed dishes, Jenny washed dishes 4 times. This tells that the the times they washed dishes occur in the ratio 4 :1. If Jenny's brother washed dishes 8 times, Jenny has to have washed dishes times. The way Jenny's is doing the calculation implies that his brother washed dishes
times. He calculation yields a wrong result.
