Q. What is the center of the ellipse 6x2+y2−36=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide and Simplify: Now, we need to get the equation in standard form for an ellipse. Divide both sides by 36 to get the coefficients of x2 and y2 to be 1. 366x2+36y2=3636x2/6+y2/36=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 x2/6+y2/36=1, which is the same as (x−0)2/6+(y−0)2/36=1.So, the center of the ellipse is (0,0).
