Center: (5, -2)
Vertices: (5, -8) and (5, 4)
Foci: (5, -2 - 2√5) and (5, -2 + 2√5)
Eccentricity: √5/3

Solución

The given ellipse is
We’ll complete the square in and .
  1. Group the and terms:
  1. Factor out the coefficients:
  1. Complete the square for each group.
    For :
    For :
  2. Substitute back into the equation:
Expand and simplify:
  1. Divide the entire equation by to write it in standard form:
Simplify:
  1. Identify the parameters:
    • Center: .
    • Denominators show and . Since , the major axis is vertical.
    • Semi-major axis: .
    • Semi-minor axis: .
  2. Find the vertices (along the major axis, vertical direction):
    • Vertices: .
    • Smaller -value: .
    • Larger -value: .
  3. Find the foci (located along the major axis). First, compute:
Foci: .
  • Smaller -value: .
  • Larger -value: .
  1. 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:
  1. Rearranging and completing the square leads to the standard form .
From this, we see that the center is at .
  1. 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).
  2. The foci can be calculated with the formula , where . Thus, the foci are at (larger y-value) and (smaller y-value).
  3. 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?
