Write the equation of an ellipse given the foci and major axis length

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.

Sir, what about Foci (6, 0) and (-6, 0), length of major axis 18?

[freakish]

But the thumbnail had some other coordinates tho

Hello sir, where'd you get the 9 and 16? Thank you

May I request a problem to be solved sir? If yes its...

Find the equation of an ellipse with length of the two foci 10 at y-axis, minor axis 24

[rosemariegarcia]

Sir what if the foci is (0, 10) and (0, -10) the minor axis 24 what would be the value of b²

[richmundoville]

What if the given is the distance between the foci is 16 with no given center, and a minor axis of 12. How to find the center?

i think your equation is a horizontal😅
