01 define an ellipse
03
graph an ellipse in a
rectangular coordinate
system given an
equation with center at
(0,0)
02
determine the standard
form of equation of an
ellipse with center at
(0,0)
10. Definition of Ellipse
An ellipse is a set of points
such that the sum of the
distances from two fixed
points is constant.
The fixed points are the foci,
and the constant sum is the
length of major axis.
