Question #7 (medium): forming the equation of ellipse. Find an equation for the conic that satisfies the given conditions. Ellipse with foci at ( ), ( ) and vertex at ( ) Looking at the foci points, they are aligned at along a vertical line. Then the ellipse equation follows the form of with foci at ( ) and vertices ( ). Since the vertex is at ( ), . Since the foci are at ( ), ( ) the distance between these two foci represents . Then the value is the midpoint between these two foci points. Then the vertices being ( ), one of the vertex given tells what the a value is. Then working backwards with c and a based on.
