((x^2))/9+((y^2))/(16)=1

\frac{( x ^{2} )}{9} + \frac{( y ^{2} )}{16} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 3, b = 4

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{9} + \frac{y ^{2}}{16} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{9} + \frac{y ^{2}}{16} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 0 ) ^{2}}{4 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 3, b = 4

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 4, a = 3
