<u>ANSWER</u>

See attachment for the graph
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The standard equation of the vertical ellipse with center at the origin is given by

where

The ellipse has its vertices at (0,±17).
This implies that:a=±17 or a²=289
The foci are located at (0,±15).
This implies that:c=±15 or c²=225
We use the following relation to find the value of b²





We substitute into the formula for the standard equation to get:

I think the answer would just be 12a because -9a? And +9a? Would cancel out and the -10 and +10 would cancel out so all that is left is the 12a
By Dividing nd subtrcting
The answer is: 40
