Q. What is the center of the ellipse 8x2+y2−64=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Get Equation in Standard Form: Now, we need to get the equation in standard form for an ellipse. Divide both sides by 64 to get the equation in the form (a2x2)+(b2y2)=1. 8x2+64y2=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.Since there are no h and k in our equation, it means h=0 and k=0.So, the center of the ellipse is (0,0).
