SOLUTION STEP 1 Rewrite the equation in standard form. 4x2 + 25y2 = 100 Write original equation. Divide each side by 100. Simplify.
soc = 21 The foci are at( + 21 , 0),or about ( + 4.6, 0). EXAMPLE 1 Graph an equation of an ellipse STEP 2 Identify the vertices, co-vertices, and foci. Note that a2 = 25 and b2 = 4, so a = 5and b = 2. The denominator of the x2 - term is greater than that of the y2 - term, so the major axis is horizontal. The vertices of the ellipse are at (+a, 0) = (+5, 0). The co-vertices are at (0, +b) = (0, +2). Find the foci. c2= a2– b2= 52– 22= 21,
