axis 25x^2+4y^2=100

axis

semi - major axis b = 5, semi - minor axis a = 2

Solution steps

25 x^{2} + 4 y^{2} = 100

Rewrite

25 x^{2} + 4 y^{2} = 100

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

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

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 2, b = 5

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 5, a = 2
