Find the coordinates of the foci vertices length of major and minor axis latus rectum of the following curve
36x2+4y2=144

Thegiven equation is 36x2+ 4y2= 144.

It can bewritten as

Here,the denominator of isgreater than the denominator of.

Therefore,the major axis is along the y-axis,while the minor axis is along the x-axis.

Oncomparing equation (1) with,we obtain b =2 and a =6.

Therefore,

Thecoordinates of the foci are.

Thecoordinates of the vertices are (0, ±6).

Lengthof major axis = 2a =12

Lengthof minor axis = 2b= 4
