Asked by Julissa
What are the vertices and co vertices of the ellipse x^2/4 + y^2/25=1
I actually have no idea how to even start to solve this problem, so any help will be appreciated.
Steps on how this problem is solved are also appreciated.

the vertices are at the ends of the major axis, and the covertices are on the minor axis. So, since 25 > 4, the vertices are on the y-axis.
when x=0, y=5
when y=0, x=2
So, the vertices are at (0,±5)
the covertices are at (±2,0)
Looks like you need to review the section where this was explained. With graphs, I'm sure.
