  • Learn how to write the equation of an ellipse from its properties. The equation of an ellipse comprises of three major properties of the ellipse: the major radius (a), the minor radius (b) and the center (h, k). The ellipse is vertical if the major radius in vertical and the ellipse is horizontal if the major radius is horizontal.
    When the above information are obtained, they are plugged into the equation of an ellipse to obtain the desired equation.

    In this case it didn't matter because he got lucky but in a different problem the B² would be incorrect

    My savior... learned more in 7 minutes than 2 full classes in a college course... really goes to show you the difference when you have a competent teacher. Thanks a bunch!

    (2,1) is the center not the vertex.

      correct, I misspeak all the time, that you for catching it

    Foci of (+/- 8, 0), center at origin, major axis of 18.
    Would that cause a and b to be equal, therefore create a circle?
    I got ((x-0)^2/81 + (y-0)^2/81)= 1
    Disregard. Answer is: (x^2/81 + y^2/17)= 1

    Parabola: Vertex is the midpoint between the directrix and the foci, there is no "center".
    Ellipse: center is midpoint between two foci.
    Hyperbola: Center is midpoint between two vertices.
    Distances and "C":
    Parabola: Distance between foci and vertex= C
    Ellipse (major/minor axis): Distance between center and foci= C
    Hyperbola: a- distance between center and vertices
    c- distance between center and foci
    Equations:
    Parabola @ origin (Vertex (0,0) ).
    x^2=4cy focus (o,c/p) *If c is positive graph opens up, if C is negative graph opens down* y axis is axis of symmetry or x=0
    or
    y^2=4cx focus (c,0) and *If c is positive graph opens right, if C is negative graph opens left* x axis is axis of symmetry or y=0.
    Center (h,k)
    (x-h)^2=4c(y-k) Focus (h,k+c) Directrix: y=k-c
    or
    (y-k)2=4c(x-h) Focus: (h+c,k) Directrix x=h-c
    Ellipse @ Origin Center (0,0)
    x^2/a^2+ y^2/b^2=1 *major axis on the x^2, a^2 always goes on the major axis, in this case x^2*
    vertices (-a,0),(a,0) y-intercepts (0,-b), (0,b) Foci: (+/-c,0) and C^2=a^2-b^2
    or
    Major axis on y^2
    x^2/b^2+y^2/a^2=1
    vertices (o,+/-a) x-int (+/-b,0) Foci: (0,+/-C)
    @ (h,k)
    (x-h)^2/a^2+(y-k)^2/b^2=1 *Major axis is x^2*
    0r
    (x-h)^2/b^2+(y-k)^2/a^2=1 *Major axis is y^2*
    Hyperbola: @ center (0,0)
    X or Y will be first if that is the transverse axis
    x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2=1 *graph never crosses the y-axis* asymptote*
    oblique asymptote: y=+/- b/ax
    or
    y^2/a^2-x^2/b^2=1 *graph never cross x-axis*
    c^2=a^2+b^2
    with center at h,k
    (x-h)^2/a^2-(y-k)2/b^2=1
    vertices: (h-a,k),(h+a,k) foci: (h-c,k),(h+c,k)
    or
    (y-k)^2/a^2-(x-h)^2/b^2=1
    vertices: (h,k-a),(h,k+a) Foci: (h,k-c) (h,k+c) where c^2=a^2+b^2
    I hope this helps guys!

      I have many examples just like that find a c and the center from that information then plug it into the equation

    • @brianmclogan
      @brianmclogan  7 років тому +2

      If it was (2,0) the point would not be on the major axis

    Isnt he incorrect? A foci should be greater than the vertice... its always outside the vertices... in this case its inside....??
