(x^2)/(12)+(y^2)/(12-16)=1

\frac{x ^{2}}{12} + \frac{y ^{2}}{12 - 16} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 23, b = 2 i

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{12} + \frac{y ^{2}}{12 - 16} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{12} + \frac{y ^{2}}{12 - 16} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 23, b = 2 i

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), a = 23, b = 2 i
