Find an equation for each ellipse. Graph the equation by hand.

Center at(1,2): vertex at(4,2):contains the point(1,5)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation of the ellipse is (x-1)29+(y-2)29=1and graph of the ellipse is

Step by step solution

01

. Given information. 

Center at (1,2): vertex at (4,2):contains the point (1,5).

On comparing with the standard equation of the ellipse (x-h)2a2+(y-k)2b2=1

Here,x=1,y=5,h=1,k=2and h+a=4a=4-1a=3

Now put these values in the equation of the ellipse.

(1-1)232+(5-2)2b2=109+9b2=19b2=1b2=9

02

Step 2. The equation of ellipse.   

Substitute the value of a2=9and b2=9we get

(x-1)29+(y-2)29=1

03

.Graph of the ellipse .  

The major axis is parallel to the x-axis.So the vertices are a=3units left and right of the center (1,2).Therefore the vertices are localid="1646732539408" v1=(-2,2)and localid="1646732554304" v2=(4,2)

Since,

localid="1646732713719" c2=a2-b2c2=9-9c2=0

Major axis is parallel to the x-axis, foci are localid="1646732722940" (1-0,2)and localid="1646732737337" (1,2).

We use the value localid="1646732752572" b=3to find the two points above and below the center aslocalid="1646732764537" (1,-1)andlocalid="1646732779266" (1,5)
