Q. What is the center of the ellipse 5x2+2y2−70=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Rewrite equation in standard form: Now, we need to rewrite the equation in standard form for an ellipse. Divide both sides by 70 to get the equation in the form (a2x2)+(b2y2)=1. (14x2)+(35y2)=1
Identify center of ellipse: Identify the center of the ellipse from the standard form.The standard form is (x−h)2/a2+(y−k)2/b2=1, where (h,k) is the center.Since there are no (x−h) or (y−k) terms, h and k are both 0.Center of the ellipse: (0,0)
