The standard form of an ellipse centered at the origin with major and minor axes of lengths
and
(where
) is
.
Where,
\The distance between center and vertex is
.
The distance between center and focus is
.
.
The equation of ellipse is
.
Write the equation in standard form.
\The ellipse is
.
Since the denominator of
- term is larger than the denominator of
- term, the major axis is vertical.
Compare it with
