Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics. center: (0, 0) focus: (3, 0) vertex: (4, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the vertex of the parabola is at (4,0), it has the vertex on the x axis (horizontal axis). The standard equation of an ellipse with horizontal major axis is given by:

Where (h,k) is the center of the ellipse, a is the vertex and ±√(a²- b²) is the focus (c).

Since the ellipse center is at (0, 0), h = 0 and k = 0. Also the vertex is at (4, 0) therefore a = 0

To find b we use the equation of the focus which is:

Substituting the values of a, b, h and k:

dc=6 square root of 3 and ac is 12 square root 3

c and d

step-by-step explanation:

square root of 3/2 = 18/c

cross multiply to get 18*2=√3*c

36/√3 * √3/√3 = c

c= 36*√3/3

c=12√3
