(x^2)/1+(y^2)/4 =1

\frac{x ^{2}}{1} + \frac{y ^{2}}{4} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 1, b = 2

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{1} + \frac{y ^{2}}{4} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{1} + \frac{y ^{2}}{4} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 1, b = 2

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 2, a = 1
