An equation of an ellipse is given

(x-2)²/ 16 + (y-3)²/ 9 = 1

a) Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse

center (x,y)

focus (x,y) smaller x- value

focus (x,y) larger x- value

vertex (x,y) smaller x- value

vertex (x,y) larger x- value

 

b) Determine the lengths of the major and minor axes.

major axis

minor axis

 

c) Sketch a graph of the ellipse
