Conic Sections Ellipses

The major axis is...

• the x-axis

• the y-axis

• (-8, 10); a = 12, b = 6

• (-8, 10); a = 6, b = 12

• (8, -10); a = 12, b = 6

• (8, -10); a = 6, b = 12

Write the standard form of the ellipse with center (-4,0), major axis length of 6 and minor axis length of 4.

• (x-4)² /16 + y ²/ 36 = 1

• (x+4)² /4 + y ²/ 9 = 1

• (x-4)² /4 + y ²/ 9 = 1

• (x+4)² /16 + y ²/ 36 = 1

Write the standard form of the ellipse:

9x² + 4y² +72x +108=0

• (x-4)² /16 + y ²/ 36 = 1

• (x+4)² /4 + y ²/ 9 = 1

• (x-4)² /4 + y ²/ 9 = 1

• (x+4)² /16 + y ²/ 36 = 1

Find the Standard Form of the Ellipse if the Foci are at (4, 2) and (-2, 2) and the Major Axis has a length of 10.
