Q. What is the center of the ellipse 3x2+32y2−96=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide by 96: Divide the entire equation by 96 to get the standard form of the ellipse equation.(3x2)/96+(32y2)/96=96/96Simplify the fractions.x2/32+y2/3=1
Simplify fractions: Identify the center of the ellipse from the 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, the equation is already in the form (x−0)2/32+(y−0)2/3=1.So, the center is (0,0).
