How to find the center, foci and vertices of an ellipse

Learn how to graph vertical ellipse which equation is in general form. A vertical ellipse is an ellipse which major axis is vertical. When the equation of an ellipse is written in the general form, we first rewrite it in standard form using completing the square.

After the equation has been rewritten in the standard form, we then graph the vertical ellipse, by first identifing some of the properties of the ellipse including the major radius and the minor radius and the center. These properties enables us to graph the ellipse.

This man is a legend. He made all these videos years ago knowing the next generation of students would be so confused. What a big brain.

I understood in 13 minutes what took an hour and a half for my teacher to confuse the crap out of me- thank you!!!

[nailahkhan]

I hope he never stops doing these videos because they have carried me through all the mathematics I’ve done in high school... thank you soooo much

[danieiltheshit]

I literally missed 4 days of school and learned everything through your videos. I feel confident for my test tomorrow, thanks!

[Dunstlookalike]

When I need a refresher, I always rely on your material. Thank you!

[klaudioikonomi]

This made my pre-calculus teacher look like an idiot. Great explanation! Thank you!

[brianmclogan]

well the standard form for o an ellipse the center is (h.k) from (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2 note that is only part of the equation

I like how you consistently identify the terms; for example the binomial square, perfect square trinomial, quadratic term. That attention to detail in your lecture makes you a great instructor, from my point of view.

[jessicagarcia]

Thank you so much for all your videos! I am currently taking college algebra and my instructor is a terrible teacher. I don't learn much in the 2 hours he teaches. I learn from you and your videos to understand my assignments. You're definitely a hero, thanks so much.

This is such a big help especially during this time of pandemic wherein we are homeschooled, thank you so much for this!

[zoeedmonson]

I wish this guy was my teacher. I'm reviewing a whole semesters worth of work I didn't understand that I'm actually starting to understand in an hours worth of watching your videos. Very helpful.

[EzilleOmondi]

I like how you give out the trens clearly..thank you

[sahilbharwani]

You are the definition of clutch like I search up clutch in the dictionary and I see Brian McLogan

[AngelHernandez-nroe]

Years will go by, these videos will always be useful lol

[jalepezo]

The students are so honest, it is a good thing, In LATAM, many student will just shut up, so much to learn from other styles of learning and class

[sandraruiz]

Ridiculously organized and succint! I love that you go back and forth between explaing and doing. Consistently too! Thank you!

[moulikchaurasiya]

Love from INDIA 🇮🇳, watching after 6 yrs of video uploaded, best teaching of ellipse you sir

[jacobschweiger]

Thank you, in the sea of aweful math videos out there in the world this one is clear, understandable, and doesn’t waste time. Good job.

[zombiesquirrel]

Wow I managed to understand this so quickly. Thank you so much. I’ll probably watch this video again before my test. Thank you!!

[angieduefrane]

I have saved multiple videos of yours. They are very helpful. I appreciate that you explain each step in detail.
