I need help with my revision for one question from Algebra.
This is the teacher's message:
There are 4 vertices to list here. You have one pair, but you still need the other pair of vertices.
This was the original question:
11. What are the vertices of the ellipse whose equation is (x^2)/9 + (y^2)/4 = 1?
This was my last answer:
The equation is x^2/9?+y^2/4?=1
I must compare it with the ellipse equation n(x−h)^2?/a^2+(y−k)^2/b^2=1
I receive: Center(h,k)=(0,0)
The semimajor axis: a=3
Thesemiminor axis: b=2
Vertices are points in the ellipse that are intersected into the major axis.
Vertices of an ellipse that is alongside the major axis, parallel to the x-axis: (h+a,k),(h−a,k)
For this ellipse equation, the vertices are (0+3, 0),(0−3, 0) =(3, 0),(−3, 0)
Please write it out on your computer as I cannot read handwriting.
Thank you very much!
