Q. What is the center of the ellipse 2x2+21y2−42=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide and Simplify: Now, divide the entire equation by 42 to get the standard form of the ellipse equation.422x2+4221y2=4242Simplify the fractions.x2/21+y2/2=1
Identify Center: Identify the center of the ellipse by comparing the equation to the standard form (x−h)2/a2+(y−k)2/b2=1. Here, h and k are both 0, so the center is at (0,0).
