Note that the vertices, co-vertices, and foci are related by the equation
When we are given the coordinates of the foci and vertices of an ellipse, we can use this relationship to find the equation of the ellipse in standard form.
(a) Horizontal ellipse with center
(b) Vertical ellipse with center
Given the vertices and foci of an ellipse centered at the origin, write its equation in standard form.
Determine whether the major axis lies on the
x - or
y -axis.
If the given coordinates of the vertices and foci have the form
and
respectively, then the major axis is the
x -axis. Use the standard form
If the given coordinates of the vertices and foci have the form
and
respectively, then the major axis is the
y -axis. Use the standard form
Use the equation
along with the given coordinates of the vertices and foci, to solve for
Substitute the values for
and
into the standard form of the equation determined in Step 1.
Writing the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin in standard form
What is the standard form equation of the ellipse that has vertices
and foci
The foci are on the
x -axis, so the major axis is the
x -axis. Thus, the equation will have the form
The vertices are
so
and
The foci are
so
and
We know that the vertices and foci are related by the equation
Solving for
we have:
Now we need only substitute
and
into the standard form of the equation. The equation of the ellipse is
Can we write the equation of an ellipse centered at the origin given coordinates of just one focus and vertex?
Yes. Ellipses are symmetrical, so the coordinates of the vertices of an ellipse centered around the origin will always have the form
or
Similarly, the coordinates of the foci will always have the form
or
Knowing this, we can use
and
from the given points, along with the equation
to find
Writing equations of ellipses not centered at the origin
Like the graphs of other equations, the graph of an
ellipse can be translated. If an ellipse is translated
units horizontally and
units vertically, the center of the ellipse will be
This
translation results in the standard form of the equation we saw previously, with
replaced by
and
y replaced by
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
