Q. What is the center of the ellipse 3x2+14y2−84=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide by 84: Now, divide the entire equation by 84 to get the standard form of the ellipse. 84/3x2+84/14y2=1
Simplify denominators: Simplify the denominators. 28x2+6y2=1
Identify center: Identify the center of the ellipse from the standard form.The center is at (h,k) where h and k are the coordinates that the x and y are subtracted from in the equation. Since there is no subtraction, h and k are both 0.Center of the ellipse: (0,0)
