Solución
The given ellipse is
We’ll complete the square in
and
.
- Group the
and terms:
- Factor out the coefficients:
-
Complete the square for each group.For
: For: -
Substitute back into the equation:
Expand and simplify:
- Divide the entire equation by
to write it in standard form:
Simplify:
-
Identify the parameters:
- Center:
. - Denominators show
and . Since , the major axis is vertical. - Semi-major axis:
. - Semi-minor axis:
.
- Center:
-
Find the vertices (along the major axis, vertical direction):
- Vertices:
. - Smaller
-value: . - Larger
-value: .
- Vertices:
-
Find the foci (located along the major axis). First, compute:
Foci:
.
- Smaller
-value: . - Larger
-value: .
- Compute the eccentricity:
Thus, the answers are:
- Center:
- Vertices:
(smaller -value) and (larger -value) - Foci:
(smaller -value) and (larger -value) - Eccentricity:

Beyond the Answer
To find the characteristics of the ellipse represented by the equation
, we first reorganize it into the standard form. Completing the square for both
and
, we get:
- Rearranging and completing the square leads to the standard form
.
From this, we see that the center is at
.
-
The vertices are found using the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes. For our ellipse, the vertices are at
(larger y-value) and (smaller y-value). -
The foci can be calculated with the formula
, where . Thus, the foci are at (larger y-value) and (smaller y-value). -
The eccentricity
is given by .
So, summarizing:
- Center:
- Vertices:
- Foci:
- Eccentricity:
Let’s break it down with a little fun: imagine your favorite cartoon character navigating through a cosmic elliptical pathway. Each hiccup and swoop to the vertices is mastered, while the foci whisper sweet secrets of gravity pulling them in! Isn’t math just like a thrilling adventure?
