16x squared + 4y squared = 25.
---
16x^2+4y = 25
y = -4x^2+(25/4)
---
16x^2 = -4y+25
---
16x^2 = -4(y-(25/4))
(x-0) ^2 = (-1/4)(y-(25/4))
-----
Vertex at (0,25/4)
---
Axis symmetry: x = 0
Domain: All Real numbers.
Range: The parabola opens downward from (0,25/4)
---
Range: y<= 25/4

Hmm..."16x squared + 4y squared = 25"
That's an ellipse,
<==> in standard form.
There are two lines of symmetry,namely x = 0 and y = 0.
The domain can be gotten from the minor axis, which is along the x-axis:
. Hence the domain is [-5/4, 5/4].
The range can be gotten from the major axis, which is along the y-axis:
. Hence the range is [-5/2, 5/2].
