Graphing an ellipse when given the length of the minor and major axis

The video tutorial explains how to plot information using given values of A and B, focusing on the center point and the orientation of the major and minor axes. It discusses the properties of the axes, including their lengths and orientations, and provides instructions for graphing. The tutorial also covers the application of formulas to determine the axes' properties and how to set up the equation of an ellipse based on the given data.

What information is given about the minor axis in the problem?

• It is 10 units long and parallel to the Y-axis.

• It is 6 units long and parallel to the X-axis.

• It is 6 units long and parallel to the Y-axis.

• It is 10 units long and parallel to the X-axis.

How is the distance of the minor axis represented in the calculations?

• 2A = 6

• 2B = 10

• 2B = 6

• 2A = 10

What is the relationship between the major axis and the Y-axis?

• The major axis is parallel to the Y-axis.

• The major axis is horizontal.

• The major axis is perpendicular to the Y-axis.

• The major axis is vertical.

Which formula is used to represent the ellipse in this problem?

• X^2 + Y^2 = 1

• X - H^2 + Y - K^2 = 1

• X - H^2 / B^2 + Y - K^2 / A^2 = 1

• X - H^2 / A^2 + Y - K^2 / B^2 = 1

What are the values of a^2 and b^2 used in the ellipse equation?

• a^2 = 9, b^2 = 25

• a^2 = 6, b^2 = 10

• a^2 = 25, b^2 = 9

• a^2 = 10, b^2 = 6
