Answer:

  x²/23 +y²/144 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want an equation of the ellipse with foci at (0, ±11) and a vertex at (0, 12).

Minor axis

The given vertex is in line with the foci, so represents one end of the major axis. The length of the semi-minor axis will be ...

  a = √(b² -f²) . . . . . . where f is the center-to-focus distance

  a = √(12² -11²) = √(144 -121) = √23

Equation

The equation is ...

  x²/a² +y²/b² = 1

  x²/23 +y²/144 = 1
