Given:


4x^2+24x+25y^2+200y+336=0

Aim:

We need to convert the given equation into the standard form of the ellipse equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the standard form of the ellipse equation.


((x-h)^2)/(a^2)+((y-k)^2)/(b^2)=1

Consider the given equation.


4x^2+24x+25y^2+200y+336=0
Use\text{ }336=36+400-100.


4x^2+24x+25y^2+200y+36+400-100=0


4x^2+24x+36+25y^2+200y+400-100=0

Take out the common terms.


4(x^2+6x+9)+25(y^2+8y+16)-100=0

Add 100 on both sides of the equation.


4(x^2+6x+9)+25(y^2+8y+16)-100+100=0+100


4(x^2+6x+9)+25(y^2+8y+16)=100


4(x^2+2*3x+3^2)+25(y^2+2*4y+4^2)=100
\text{Use (a+b)}^2=a^2+2ab+b^2.


4(x+3)^2+25(y+4)^2=100

Divide both sides by 100.


(4\mleft(x+3\mright)^2)/(100)+(25\mleft(y+4\mright)^2)/(100)=(100)/(100)


(\mleft(x+3\mright)^2)/(25)+(\mleft(y+4\mright)^2)/(4)=1


(\mleft(x+3\mright)^2)/(5^2)+(\mleft(y+4\mright)^2)/(2^2)=1


(\mleft(x-(-3)\mright)^2)/(5^2)+(\mleft(y-(-4)\mright)^2)/(2^2)=1

The standard form of the given equation is


(\mleft(x-(-3)\mright)^2)/(5^2)+(\mleft(y-(-4)\mright)^2)/(2^2)=1

Compare with the general form of the ellipse equation.

We get h=-3, k=-4, a=5 and b=2.

The centre of the ellipse is h= -3 and k = -4.

The value of a is 5.

The value of b is 2.

We need to find the eccentricity of the ellipse.


e=\sqrt[]{1-(b^2)/(a^2)}

Substitute b=2 and a =5 in the formula.


e=\sqrt[]{1-(2^2)/(5^2)}=\sqrt[]{1-(4)/(25)}=\sqrt[]{(25-4)/(25)}=\sqrt[]{(21)/(25)}=0.9165
e=0.9165

The foci of the ellipse are


((h\pm a)e,0)

Substitute h =-3, a=5 and e =0.9165 in the formula.


((-3\pm5)0.9165,0)

The foci with a positive x value are the point


((-3+5)0.9165,0)\text{ =}(1.83,0)
(1.83,0)

The foci with a negative x value are the point


((-3-5)0.9165,0)\text{ =}(-7.33,0)


(-7.33,0)
