Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin, which has foci at (+-sqrt13,0) and co-vertices at (0,+-11).

Identify Orientation: We have: Foci: (±√13, 0) Co-vertices: (0, ±11) Choose the orientation of the ellipse. Since the foci are on the x-axis, the ellipse is horizontal.Identify Center and Foci: We have: Center (h, k): (0, 0) Foci: (±√13, 0) Identify the value of c. c = √13Identify Co-vertices: We have: Center (h, k): (0, 0) Co-vertices: (0, ±11) Identify the value of b. b = 11Calculate Value of a: We know the relationship between a, b, and c in an ellipse is c^2 = a^2 - b^2. We already have c = √13 and b = 11. Calculate the value of a. a^2 = c^2 + b^2 a^2 = (√13)^2 + 11^2 a^2 = 13 + 121 a^2 = 134 a = √134Standard Form of Ellipse: We know: (h, k) = (0, 0) a = √134 b = 11 What would be the standard form of the ellipse? (x - h)^2/a^2 + (y - k)^2/b^2 = 1 (x - 0)^2/(√134)^2 + (y - 0)^2/11^2 = 1 x^2/134 + y^2/121 = 1

Q. Write an equation for an ellipse centered at the origin, which has foci at

( \pm \sqrt{13}, 0)

and co-vertices at

(0, \pm 11)

Identify Orientation: We have: $\newline$ Foci: $(\pm\sqrt{13}, 0)$ $\newline$ Co-vertices: $(0, \pm11)$ $\newline$ Choose the orientation of the ellipse. $\newline$ Since the foci are on the x-axis, the ellipse is horizontal.
Identify Center and Foci: We have: $\newline$ Center $(h, k)$ : $(0, 0)$ $\newline$ Foci: $(\pm\sqrt{13}, 0)$ $\newline$ Identify the value of $c$ . $\newline$ $c = \sqrt{13}$
Identify Co-vertices: We have: $\newline$ Center $(h, k)$ : $(0, 0)$ $\newline$ Co-vertices: $(0, \pm 11)$ $\newline$ Identify the value of $b$ . $\newline$ $b = 11$
Calculate Value of a: We know the relationship between $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ in an ellipse is $c^2 = a^2 - b^2$ . We already have $c = \sqrt{13}$ and $b = 11$ . Calculate the value of $a$ . $a^2 = c^2 + b^2$ $a^2 = (\sqrt{13})^2 + 11^2$ $a^2 = 13 + 121$ $b$ $0$ $b$ $1$
Standard Form of Ellipse: We know: $\newline$ $(h, k) = (0, 0)$ $\newline$ $a = \sqrt{134}$ $\newline$ $b = 11$ $\newline$ What would be the standard form of the ellipse? $\newline$ $\frac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1$ $\newline$ $\frac{(x - 0)^2}{(\sqrt{134})^2} + \frac{(y - 0)^2}{11^2} = 1$ $\newline$ $\frac{x^2}{134} + \frac{y^2}{121} = 1$
