Definition of an EllipseSet of all points P such that the sum
of the distances between P and the two foci (plural for “focus”) is constant.
d1 + d2 = constant

Standard Form Ellipse Equation: where a>b>0
The foci are on the major axis, c units from the center, where c2 = a2 – b2

Graphing Ellipses1. Write in standard form.2. Use a and b to plot vertices and co-
vertices.3. Sketch the ellipse.Example:Sketch the ellipse
and identify the foci.

Writing EquationsWrite an equation of the ellipse with
the given characteristics and center (0, 0).
Vertex: (0, 7) Co-Vertex: (-6, 0)

Your Turn!Write an equation of the ellipse
with center (0,0) and:vertex at (3, 0)co-vertex at (0, -1)
