I'm taking summer lessons next year preperations. I started a new topic(lesson) called Conics. As I know every beginning has a start . The question :: Determine the equation of the conic C(F,d,e).Determine the nature of C(F,d,e) and its different elements. Given: F(3,1) Equation of directrix : x-1= ...

Sorry, my mistake - The equation is : $\frac{(x-1)^2}{4}+\frac{(y-1)^2}{2} = 1$

The equation of the directrix is x-1 = >0 ( it says it's positive)

The center of the ellips is at (1,1) ??

((x-h)^2)/(a^2) - ((y-k)^2)/(b^2)

I need to find the center right ?

Thanks, I appreciate your hard work.
