Problem Set 3 Ellipses Set A

This document contains a 3-part problem set on ellipses. Part 1 involves studying graphs of ellipses and filling out a table with the major axis, minor axis, equation, center, vertices, and foci. Part 2 gives ellipse equations and requires determining the center, vertices, covertices, and foci. Part 3 involves transforming ellipse equations between standard and general form. The student is to print out the document and show work by writing answers in the spaces provided.
