Ellipse As - Answer Key

1) The document provides the standard form and general form of 6 ellipses, listing their centers, foci, vertices, and co-vertices. 2) It also includes a proof that the relationship between the semi-major axis (a), semi-minor axis (b), and distance between the center and foci (c) of an ellipse is b^2 = a^2 - c^2. 3) The document contains an activity sheet on ellipses with examples to sketch and standard/general forms to write for different ellipses defined by their geometric properties.
