(x^2)/5+(y^2)/8 =1

\frac{x ^{2}}{5} + \frac{y ^{2}}{8} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 5, b = 22

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{5} + \frac{y ^{2}}{8} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{5} + \frac{y ^{2}}{8} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 5, b = 22

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 22, a = 5
