The correct Answer is:
To find the vertices of the ellipse given by the equation \(9x^2 + 4y^2 - 18x - 27 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearrange the equation We start with the equation: \[ 9x^2 + 4y^2 - 18x - 27 = 0 \] We can rearrange this to isolate the terms involving \(x\) and \(y\): \[ 9x^2 - 18x + 4y^2 = 27 \] ### Step 2: Complete the square for the \(x\) terms Next, we will complete the square for the \(x\) terms. We factor out the 9 from the \(x\) terms: \[ 9(x^2 - 2x) + 4y^2 = 27 \] Now, we complete the square for \(x^2 - 2x\): \[ x^2 - 2x = (x - 1)^2 - 1 \] Substituting this back, we have: \[ 9((x - 1)^2 - 1) + 4y^2 = 27 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9(x - 1)^2 - 9 + 4y^2 = 27 \] Adding 9 to both sides gives: \[ 9(x - 1)^2 + 4y^2 = 36 \] ### Step 3: Divide by 36 to get the standard form Now, we divide the entire equation by 36 to put it in standard form: \[ \frac{9(x - 1)^2}{36} + \frac{4y^2}{36} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{(x - 1)^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1 \] ### Step 4: Identify the values of \(a\) and \(b\) From the standard form \(\frac{(x - h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y - k)^2}{b^2} = 1\), we can identify: - \(h = 1\) (the x-coordinate of the center) - \(k = 0\) (the y-coordinate of the center) - \(a^2 = 4 \Rightarrow a = 2\) - \(b^2 = 9 \Rightarrow b = 3\) ### Step 5: Determine the vertices Since \(b > a\), the major axis is along the y-axis. The vertices of the ellipse are given by the coordinates: \[ (h, k \pm b) = (1, 0 \pm 3) \] Thus, the vertices are: \[ (1, 3) \quad \text{and} \quad (1, -3) \] ### Final Answer The vertices of the ellipse are: \[ (1, 3) \quad \text{and} \quad (1, -3) \] ---
