Find an equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions. Length of major axis: $4,$ length of minor axis: $2,$ foci on $y$ -axis
Added by David M.
Step 1
We know that the foci of the ellipse are on the $y$-axis. This means that the center of the ellipse is also on the $y$-axis. Let's call the center $(0,c)$, where $c$ is the distance from the center to each focus. Show more…
