What does elipticall mean?
isn't it an arty word, like when you draw an ellipse-- so when you see/draw something with an ellipse you call it an elliptical drawing
What is a special form of the ellipse called?
A special form of the ellipse is called a circle. In a circle, the distance from the center to any point on the boundary is constant, meaning all points are equidistant from the center. This can be seen as an ellipse where the two foci coincide at the center, resulting in equal semi-major and semi-minor axes.
Can the foci's of and ellipse be outside the ellipse?
No.
How can you tell when you are going to graph and Ellipse?
ax^2+by^2=k is an ellipse this is not in standard form which is x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1 but you will often see ellipses written this way. ellipses are also commonly written in their parametric form which is x=ccos(t) and y=dsin(t). finally a circle is a special case of an ellipse and if a b or k are 0 or negative it is not an ellipse. c and d can be positive but not 0.
