Chapter 7: Problem 48

Graph each ellipse and give the location of its foci. $$\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{2}+\frac{(y-3)^{2}}{5}=1$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The foci of the given ellipse are located at (-1, 3+鈭�3) and (-1, 3-鈭�3).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the Center

The given equation is \(\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{2}+\frac{(y-3)^{2}}{5}=1\). Compare it with the standard form of the ellipse equation, \((x-h)^{2}/a^{2}+(y-k)^{2}/b^{2}=1\). Here, the center (h, k) of the ellipse is at (-1, 3).
02

Identify the Lengths of Semi-Major and Semi-Minor axis

The lengths of the semi-major axis (a) and the semi-minor axis (b) are under the square root of the coefficients of \(x^{2}\) and \(y^{2}\) respectively. So here, \(a=\sqrt{5}\) and \(b=\sqrt{2}\).
03

Calculate the Distance from Center to each Focus

The distance from the center to each focus or the focal length (c) is given by \(c=\sqrt{|a^{2}-b^{2}|\}\). Put the values of a and b in the formula, we get \(c=\sqrt{5-2} = \sqrt{3}\).
04

Find the Foci

Since, the ellipse is vertical (\(a^{2}\) is under \(y^{2}\)), the foci are located at \(k \pm c\), on the major axis. So the foci of the ellipse are at (-1, 3+鈭�3) and (-1, 3-鈭�3).
05

Draw the Ellipse

Now we can depict the ellipse on the coordinate plane. Plot the center at (-1,3), the vertices at (-1, 3+鈭�5) and (-1, 3-鈭�5) and the foci as found in the previous step. Sketch the ellipse through these points.

Find the focus and directrix of the parabola with the given equation. Then graph the parabola. $$8 x^{2}+4 y=0$$

Convert each equation to standard form by completing the square on \(x\) or \(y .\) Then find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola. Finally, graph the parabola. $$x^{2}+8 x-4 y+8=0$$

Use the vertex and the direction in which the parabola opens to determine the relation's domain and range. Is the relation a function? $$y^{2}-2 y-x-5=0$$

The towers of the Golden Gate Bridge connecting San Francisco to Marin County are 1280 meters apart and rise 160 meters above the road. The cable between the towers has the shape of a parabola and the cable just touches the sides of the road midway between the towers. What is the height of the cable 200 meters from a tower? Round to the nearest meter. (Image can't copy)
