Q. What is the center of the ellipse 4x2+y2−76=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide by 76: Divide the entire equation by 76 to get the standard form of the ellipse equation.(4x2)/76+(y2)/76=76/76Simplify the fractions.x2/19+y2/76=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. The center (h,k) is at (0,0) since there are no terms to shift the ellipse left/right or up/down.
