| Okay, let's start off with the vertical eclipse. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Great. A vertical eclipse is written as:(x-h)^2/b^2 + (y-k)^2/a^2=1 | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Well, I already know that (h,k) is the CENTER. So is the "a" the major radius and the "b" the minor radius? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes, that's actually correct. I thought you didn't know anything. (Hmm.) But', the same thing applies to the horizontal eclipse. Except for... | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Let me guess..to make each formula different, the "a" and "b" are switched? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Umm, you sure do know a lot coming to ask me for help. But, yes the formula is: (x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2=1 | |
