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

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

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = \frac{1}{2}, b = 1

Solution steps

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

Rewrite

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

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = \frac{1}{2}, b = 1

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 1, a = \frac{1}{2}
