Solution

The standard form for the ellipse whose major axis

Write the equation in a standard form


x^2-8x+25y^2-100y+91=0
\begin{gathered} x^2-8x_+25y-100y+91=0 \\ x^2-8x+4^2+25y^2-100y=91 \\ (x-4)^2+25(y^2-4y)=91 \\ (x-4)^2+25(y-2)^2=91+16+25(4) \\ (x-4)^2+25(y-2)^2=116-91 \\ ((x-4)^2+25(y-2)^2=25)/(25) \\ ((x-4)^2)/(25)+((y-2)^2)/(1)=1 \end{gathered}

(1) The centre of the ellipse is (h , k)


h=4,k=2

(2) The value of a = 5

(3) The value of b = 1

(4) The foci with the positive x value is the points


(0,+5)

(5) The foci with the negative x value is the points


(0,-5)
