question 248

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The ellipse $\frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { y ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1$ is shifted down 3 units and right 8 units. Find an equation for the new ellipse and find the new center.

• A) \(\frac { ( x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { ( y - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 11 } = 1\); center: \(( 3 , - 8 )\)
• B) \(\frac { ( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { ( y + 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 11 } = 1\); center: \(( - 3,8 )\)
• C) \(\frac { ( x - 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { ( y + 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 16 } = 1 ;\) center: \(( 8 , - 3 )\)
• D) \(\frac { ( x + 8 ) ^ { 2 } } { 5 } + \frac { ( y - 3 ) ^ { 2 } } { 11 } = 1\); center: \(( 8 , - 3 )\)
