(y^2)/(16)+(x^2)/(25)=1

\frac{y ^{2}}{16} + \frac{x ^{2}}{25} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 5, b = 4

Solution steps

\frac{y ^{2}}{16} + \frac{x ^{2}}{25} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{y ^{2}}{16} + \frac{x ^{2}}{25} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{5 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 0 ) ^{2}}{4 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 5, b = 4

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), a = 5, b = 4
