An ellipse has a co-vertex at (–8, 9) and a foci at (4, 4). If the center of the ellipse is located below the given co-vertex, then what is the equation of the ellipse? Write in standard form. Guide question? 1) What are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse? 2) Is the ellipse horizontal or vertical?

Step-by-step explanation:

“the center of the ellipse is located below the given co-vertex”

Co-vertex and center are vertically aligned, so the ellipse is horizontal.

Equation for horizontal ellipse:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

with

a² ≥ b²

center (h,k)

vertices (h±a, k)

co-vertices (h, k±b)

foci (h±c,k), c² = a² -b²

One co-vertex is (-8,9), so h = -8.

One focus is (4,4), so k = 4.

Center (h,k) = (-8,4)

c = distance between center and focus = |-8 - 4| = 12

b = |9-k| = 5

a² = c² + b² = 169

(x+8)²/169 + (y-4)²/25 = 1

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
