Question
In Exercises $1-18,$ graph each ellipse and locate the foci.$$\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{64}=1$$
Step 1
The equation of an ellipse is given by $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$. Comparing this with the given equation $\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{64}=1$, we can see that $a^{2}=25$ and $b^{2}=64$. Therefore, $a=5$ and $b=8$. Show more…
