-16x^2-9y^2=144

- 16 x^{2} - 9 y^{2} = 144

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

Solution steps

- 16 x^{2} - 9 y^{2} = 144

Rewrite

- 16 x^{2} - 9 y^{2} = 144

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
