The problem in the image is written in Indonesian and can be translated as follows:

"An ellipse with a vertex at (13, 0) and foci \( F_1(13, 0) \) and \( F_2(12, 0) \) has the equation..."

Let's analyze this information to determine the equation of the ellipse.

1. **Vertices and Foci**:
   - One vertex is given at \( (13, 0) \), and the foci are given as \( F_1(13, 0) \) and \( F_2(12, 0) \).
   - The foci and vertices lie along the x-axis, so this ellipse is horizontally aligned.

2. **Distance between foci**:
   - The distance between the two foci, \( F_1(13, 0) \) and \( F_2(12, 0) \), is \( |13 - 12| = 1 \).
   - This distance is \( 2c \), so \( c = 0.5 \), where \( c \) is the distance from the center to each focus.

3. **Center**:
   - The center of the ellipse lies midway between the foci. So, the center is at:
   \[
   \left( \frac{13 + 12}{2}, 0 \right) = (12.5, 0)
   \]

4. **Distance between the center and the vertex**:
   - The distance from the center \( (12.5, 0) \) to the vertex \( (13, 0) \) is the semi-major axis \( a \).
   \[
   a = |13 - 12.5| = 0.5
   \]

5. **Relation between \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \)**:
   - The equation \( c^2 = a^2 - b^2 \) holds for an ellipse, where \( b \) is the semi-minor axis.
   \[
   c = 0.5, \quad a = 0.5
   \]
   Therefore,
   \[
   0.5^2 = 0.5^2 - b^2 \implies b = 0
   \]
   This result indicates that the ellipse is highly degenerate and appears almost as a line segment on the x-axis.

Thus, based on the information provided, the ellipse has its center at \( (12.5, 0) \), and the equation is degenerate. Would you like to explore more about how we could adjust this for a better interpretation?

Let me know if you'd like details on how this equation could evolve or what it looks like graphically. 

Here are 5 related questions:
1. How do we normally define the major and minor axes of an ellipse?
2. What does it mean for an ellipse to be "degenerate"?
3. How would we find the equation of a non-degenerate ellipse given more information?
4. How does the location of foci influence the shape of an ellipse?
5. What role does the center of an ellipse play in its equation?

**Tip:** In an ellipse, the sum of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the two foci is always constant.
