Answer:

A. A=10

Step-by-step explanation:

you’re welcome

The equation of the ellipse is required \frac{(x)^2}{16} +\frac{(y+4)^2}{25}=1

The required equation is

[tex]\frac{x^2}{16} +\frac{(y+4)^2}{25}=1[/tex]

It can be seen that the major axis is parallel to the y axis.

The major axis points are

[tex](h,k+a)=(0,1)\\(h,k-a)=(0,-9)\\k+a=1\\k-a=-9[/tex]

Subtracting the equations

[tex]2a=10\\\implies a=5[/tex]

The foci are

[tex](h,k+c)=(0,-1)\\(h,k-c)=(0,-7)[/tex]

[tex]k+c=-1\\k-c=-7[/tex]

Subtracting the equations

2c=6

c=3

k+c=-1 implies that k=-1-c

k=-1-3

k=-4

What is the equation of the ellipse?

[tex]\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2} +\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}=1[/tex]

So we get,

[tex]\frac{(x-0)^2}{4^2} +\frac{(y+4)^2}{5^2}=1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{(x)^2}{16} +\frac{(y+4)^2}{25}=1[/tex]

Therefore the equation is, [tex]\frac{(x)^2}{16} +\frac{(y+4)^2}{25}=1[/tex].
