Answer:


(x^2)/(169) +(y^2)/(25)=1

If we compare this to the general expression for an ellipse given by:


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

We can see that the vertex is
V=(0,0)

And we can find the values of a and b like this:


a=√(169)=13, b=√(25)=5

in order to find the foci we can find the value of c


c =√(169-25)=√(144)=12

The two focis are (12,0) and (-12,0)

The convertices for this case are: (13,0) and (-13,0) on the x axis

And for the y axis (0,5) and (0,-5)

Explanation:

For this problem we have the following equation given:


(x^2)/(169) +(y^2)/(25)=1

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