Step 1
Step 1: Identify the given information: - Vertical major axis length = 6 (2a = 6, so a = 3) - Minor axis length = 4 (2b = 4, so b = 2) Show more…

The length of the major axis of the ellipse $3 x^{2}+2 y^{2}-6 x+8 y-1=0$ is (A) $\sqrt{3}$ (B) $\sqrt{6}$ (C) 2$\sqrt{3}$ (D) 4 (E) 2$\sqrt{6}$
An equation of an ellipse is given. (a) Find the center, vertices, and foci of the ellipse. (b) Determine the lengths of the major and minor axes. (c) Sketch a graph of the ellipse. $$\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{36}+\frac{(y+1)^{2}}{64}=1$$
