Characteristics of Ellipses
Ellipse Distance from center to vertex = a c2 = a2 -b2 Distance from center to co-vertex = b Distance from center to foci = c b c a Length of Major Axis = 2a Length of Minor Axis = 2b
Ellipse a c b Distance from center to vertex = a Distance from center to co-vertex = b Distance from center to foci = c c2 = a2 -b2 Length of Major Axis = 2a Length of Minor Axis = 2b
Example 1: Graph the following Ellipse Center: (2, -3) b = 3 a = 5 Foci: ) foci (-2, -3) (6, -3)
