-If an ellipse has vertices at (-5, 0), (5, 0), (0, 8), and (0, -8), what is its domain? What is its range?
A) Domain: [-5, 5]; Range: [-8, 8]
B) Domain: [-8, 8]; Range: [-5, 5]
C) Domain: [-5, 8]; Range: [-8, 5]
D) Domain: [0, 5]; Range: [0, 8]

The vertices of the ellipse provide the maximum extents in the x and y directions. The x-coordinates of the vertices (-5, 0) and (5, 0) define the domain as [-5, 5], and the y-coordinates of the vertices (0, 8) and (0, -8) define the range as [-8, 8].
