(x^2)/4+(y^2)/(20)=1

\frac{x ^{2}}{4} + \frac{y ^{2}}{20} = 1

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 2, b = 25

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{4} + \frac{y ^{2}}{20} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{4} + \frac{y ^{2}}{20} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 2, b = 25

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 25, a = 2
