Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: Vertices $(0,\,\pm 13),$ foci $(0,\,±5)$.
Vertices $(0,\,\pm 13),$ foci $(0,\,±5)$
Here, the vertices are on the $y-$ axis.
Therefore, the equation of the ellipse will be of the form $\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}=1,$ where a is the semimajor axis.
Accordingly, $a=13$ and $c=5$
It is known that $a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}$
$\therefore 13^{2}=b^{2}+5^{2}$
$\Rightarrow 169=b^{2}+25$
$\Rightarrow b^{2}=169-25$
$\Rightarrow b=\sqrt{144}=12$
Thus, the equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^{2}}{12^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{13^{2}}=1$ or $\frac{x^{2}}{144}+\frac{y^{2}}{169}=1$
