Q. What is the center of the ellipse 9x2+2y2−18=0?Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form.(______,______)
Divide by 18: Now, divide the entire equation by 18 to get the standard form of the ellipse equation.(9x2)/18+(2y2)/18=18/18This simplifies to x2/2+y2/9=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 x2/2+y2/9=1, which can be written as (x−0)2/2+(y−0)2/9=1.So, the center of the ellipse is (0,0).
