Question
In Exercises $83-86,$ determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning.I graphed an ellipse with a horizontal major axis and foci on the $y$ -axis.
Step 1
An ellipse is defined as the set of all points such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points (the foci) is constant. The major axis is the longest diameter of the ellipse, and the minor axis is the shortest. Show more…

The Ellipse
In Exercises $81-84,$ determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. I graphed a hyperbola centered at the origin that was symmetric with respect to the $x$ -axis and also symmetric with respect to the $y$ -axis.
The Hyperbola
determine whether each statement “makes sense” or “does not make sense” and explain your reasoning. I graphed an ellipse with a horizontal major axis and foci on the $y$ -axis.
