So they tell you that they want the center to be the origin.
00:04
So that makes the problem pretty easy because when you go to write the equation of this, then, you can just do x squared and you don't have to worry about shifting left, right, up or down, equal to one.
00:17
The next thing they also tell you is that the horizontal major axis, i write that out, major axis, is equal to 32.
00:33
So that's from vertex to vertex.
00:36
So vertex 1 to vertex 2.
00:38
So as you split that up, then from each width has to be 16 and 16.
00:45
And the fact that it's horizontal means that the a squared is under the x is under x squared.
00:54
And a is equal to 16.
00:57
Just take the major axis 32 divided by 2.
00:59
That's how i found it...
