((x-1)^2}{16}+\frac{(y-5)^2)/4 =1

\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{16} + \frac{( y - 5 ) ^{2}}{4} = 1

(h, k) = (1, 5), a = 4, b = 2

Solution steps

\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{16} + \frac{( y - 5 ) ^{2}}{4} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{( x - 1 ) ^{2}}{16} + \frac{( y - 5 ) ^{2}}{4} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (1, 5), a = 4, b = 2

a > b

therefore

a

is semi-major axis and

b

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (1, 5), a = 4, b = 2
