Very good Charlie! Now to find your B you use the baby got bac formula. B squared equals A squared minus C squared.
How to solve an ellipse?
I do. You add your x's together and divide by two then add your y's together and divide by two.
Very good Tommy!
Okay students let's learn about ellipses. Who know's how to find the center of an ellipse?
Don't we have to determine if the ellipse is horizontal or vertical before we find A and C though?
Very good students! Now to find your A you have to find the distance between your center and an end point. Once you have your A look for your C which is your root in your Foci.
Yes, Olivia you do. If your x's are the same it is vertical and if your y's are the same it is vertical.
I love ellipses!
This lesson is so easy!
So your standard form would be x plus a number plus y plus a number all over your A squared and B squared.
Now, once you have all of the parts you put it into standard form. If your problem is horizontal everything stays the same and if it is vertical you switch the a and the b on the bottom.
