Question:medium
The distance between the foci of the ellipse
\[ \frac{(x+2)^2}{9} + \frac{(y-1)^2}{4} = 1 \]
is ______.
The distance between the foci of the ellipse
\[ \frac{(x+2)^2}{9} + \frac{(y-1)^2}{4} = 1 \]
is ______.
Show Hint
For ellipses, always remember:
\[
c^2 = a^2 - b^2
\]
and the distance between foci is \(2c\).
