Matching In Exercises 1-6, match the equation with its graph. [The graphs are labeled (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f).]
If the equation matches with its graph.
Answer to Problem 1RE
Solution: The equation
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Here,
Now, in order to find whether the ellipse is horizontal or vertical, present the given equation in the standard form of an ellipse.
The given equation is:
Divide throughout by
Rewrite in standard form as:
This is of the form:
Which is the standard equation for an ellipse, whose major axis is vertical.
Thus, the given equation matches with the graph (e).
