16(x-1)^2+25(y-4)^2=400

16 (x - 1)^{2} + 25 (y - 4)^{2} = 400

(h, k) = (1, 4), a = 5, b = 4

Solution steps

16 (x - 1)^{2} + 25 (y - 4)^{2} = 400

Rewrite

16 (x - 1)^{2} + 25 (y - 4)^{2} = 400

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{5 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 4 ) ^{2}}{4 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (1, 4), a = 5, b = 4

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (1, 4), a = 5, b = 4
