Q. What is the center of the ellipse 15x2+2y2−30=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide by 30: Now, divide the entire equation by 30 to get the standard form of the ellipse equation.(3015x2)+(302y2)=30302x2+15y2=1
Standard Form Equation: The standard form of an ellipse is (x−h)2/a2+(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center.Here, we have x2/2+y2/15=1, which can be written as (x−0)2/2+(y−0)2/15=1.So, the center of the ellipse is (0,0).
