à 7.3è The Ellipse
äè Please use the square root property to find the x-inter-
cepts of the given ellipse.
#âë Find the x-intercepts of the ellipse, 4xì + 9yìï=ï36.

êêèThe x-intercepts are (3, 0) and (-3, 0).
#éS An equation of the form, axì + byìï=ïc, is recognizable as an
ellipse where a, b, and c are constants with the same sign.ïIn the
#example 4xì + 9yìï=ï36, a = 4, b = 9, and c = 36.ïThis equation is
recognizable as an ellipse, and a reasonably good graph can be found by
plotting the intercepts and joining them with a smooth curve.ïThe x-
intercepts are found by letting y equal 0 and solving for x.
