The equation of an ellipse in the standard form is given by:


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

(h,k) is the center coordinates, a is the major radius and b is the minor radius.

Therefore, if h = 3 and k = 2, the center is located at (3,2).

If a = 5, the x-coordinate of the major vertices are 3 + 5 = 8 and 3 - 5 = -2

Then, the major vertices are (-2,2) and (8,2)
