**
Given ellipse has a horizontal major axis.
Its standard form of equation: (x-h)^2/a^2+(y-k)^2/b^2=1, a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
For given ellipse:
center: (0,0)
length of horizontal major axis=8=2a
a=4
a^2=16
..
length of minor axis=4=2b
b=2
b^2=4
..
Equation of given ellipse:
x^2/16+y^2/4=1
