((x+3)^2)/4+((y-4)^2)/(18)=1

\frac{( x + 3 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y - 4 ) ^{2}}{18} = 1

(h, k) = (- 3, 4), a = 2, b = 32

Solution steps

\frac{( x + 3 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y - 4 ) ^{2}}{18} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{( x + 3 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{( y - 4 ) ^{2}}{18} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (- 3, 4), a = 2, b = 32

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (- 3, 4), b = 32, a = 2
