The equation of the ellipse in standard form is (x + 3)² / 100 + (y - 2)² / 64 = 1. (Correct choice: B)
What is the equation of the ellipse associated with the coordinates of the foci?
By analytical geometry we know that foci are along the major axis of ellipses and beside the statement we find that such axis is parallel to the x-axis of Cartesian plane. Then, the standard form of the equation of the ellipse is of the following form:
(x - h)² / a² + (y - k)² / b² = 1, where a > b (1)
Where:
- a - Length of the major semiaxis.
- b - Length of the minor semiaxis.
Now, we proceed to find the vertex and the lengths of the semiaxes:
a = 10 units.
b = 8 units.
Vertex
V(x, y) = 0.5 · F₁(x, y) + 0.5 · F₂(x, y)
V(x, y) = 0.5 · (3, 2) + 0.5 · (- 9, 2)
V(x, y) = (1.5, 1) + (- 4.5, 1)
V(x, y) = (- 3, 2)
The equation of the ellipse in standard form is (x + 3)² / 100 + (y - 2)² / 64 = 1. (Correct choice: B)
