Determine the Two Equations Necessary to Graph the Ellipse with a Graphing

question 426

Multiple Choice

Determine the two equations necessary to graph the ellipse with a graphing calculator.
- $$\frac { ( x - 5 ) ^ { 2 } } { 36 } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 49 } = 1$$

• A) \(y = \frac { 7 \sqrt { 36 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\) and \(y = - \frac { 7 \sqrt { 36 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\)
• B) \(y = \frac { 7 \sqrt { 900 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\) and \(y = - \frac { 7 \sqrt { 900 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\)
• C) \(y = \frac { 7 \sqrt { 25 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\) and \(y = - \frac { 7 \sqrt { 25 - x ^ { 2 } } } { 6 }\)
• D) \(y = \frac { 7 \sqrt { - x ^ { 2 } + 10 x + 11 } } { 6 }\) and \(y = - \frac { 7 \sqrt { - x ^ { 2 } + 10 x + 11 } } { 6 }\)
