Q. What is the center of the ellipse 3x2+2y2−84=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide and Simplify: Now, divide the entire equation by 84 to get the standard form of the ellipse.843x2+842y2=8484Simplify the fractions.x2/28+y2/42=1
Standard Form of Ellipse: 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 x2/28+y2/42=1, which can be written as (x−0)2/28+(y−0)2/42=1.So, the center of the ellipse is (0,0).
