**Q1.** Video: [Graph of an ellipse](https://youtu.be/pAbJUwbTrZ8?t=1074)

Graph the ellipse with equation \(\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{49} = 1\). Identify the vertices of the ellipse.

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

Below the question is a graph with labeled axes. 

- The x-axis and y-axis both range from -10 to 10.
- The graph is centered at the origin (0, 0).
- The grid marks on the graph are at intervals of 1 unit.
  
To graph the ellipse:

1. Identify the center of the ellipse as the origin (0, 0).
2. The equation \(\frac{x^2}{16} + \frac{y^2}{49} = 1\) indicates:
   - The semi-major axis is along the y-axis.
   - The semi-major axis length is \(\sqrt{49} = 7\).
   - The semi-minor axis length is \(\sqrt{16} = 4\).

**Vertices:**

- Along the y-axis: (0, 7) and (0, -7)
- Along the x-axis: (4, 0) and (-4, 0)

These points are where the ellipse intersects the axes.
