Chapter 6

Guess what we did this week? Yup, you guessed it, Math. We did Math this week, but not just any kind of Math, Advanced Math. and not just any old Advanced Math but Elipsises. Which, come to think of it, is very hard to pronounce in the plural sense of the word. Anyway, enough stalling just so I can reach the 150 word thing, no I would never do such a terrible thing.

Ellipses have many parts.

Major axis- Found by whcih axis has the larger denominator
Minor axis- Found by which axis has amaller denominator
Length of the major axis- Found with the equation. 2xSquare root(larger denominator)
Length of the minor axis-.............................................................(Smaller denominator)
Intercepts, major and minor- Is the square root(Larger denominator) or (smaller denominator). Takes place of corresponding variable, depending on which is major, the other variable is 0
Focus- I think its Larger Denominator=Smaller Denominator+Focus squared
