An artist wants to make an elliptical sign out of a rectangular piece of wood. The wood piece has a length of 60 inches and a width of 40 inches. The artist wants to make the largest elliptical piece possible from the wood. a) Write the equation of the ellipse by placing the center at the origin of the coordinate plane and making the x-axis the major axis.
b) What are the foci of this ellipse?
c) Sketch a graph of the ellipse and label the center, foci, and intercepts

what are the statments

step-by-step explanation:

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)
