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

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

(h, k) = (0, 1), a = 1, b = 2

Solution steps

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

Rewrite

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

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 1), a = 1, b = 2

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 1), b = 2, a = 1
