    The foci of an ellipse | 
  2007-03-27 |

  From Brad: I am trying to figure out how to find the foci of an ellipse x^2/7 + y^2/16 = 1.
Since 16 is the largest denominator I know the major axis is going to be the y axis.
Do I now take 7-c^2=16. c^2=16-7, c^2=9, c=3. So is my foci (0,+-3). Answered by Penny Nom. |
