((x-3)^2)/2+(y+5)^2=8

\frac{( x - 3 ) ^{2}}{2} + (y + 5)^{2} = 8

(h, k) = (3, - 5), a = 4, b = 22

Solution steps

\frac{( x - 3 ) ^{2}}{2} + (y + 5)^{2} = 8

Rewrite

\frac{( x - 3 ) ^{2}}{2} + (y + 5)^{2} = 8

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 3 ) ^{2}}{4 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - ( - 5 ) ) ^{2}}{( 2 2 ) ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (3, - 5), a = 4, b = 22

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (3, - 5), a = 4, b = 22
