find an equation of the ellipse with center at the origin.
Given Foci: ( +-5,0); Major axis of length 12
**
Equation is that of an ellipse with horizontal major axis with center at (0,0)
Its standard form:
..
Given length of horizontal major axis=12=2a
a=6
a^2=36
..
Given Foci=�5
c=5
c^2=25
..
c^2=a^2-b^2
b^2=a^2-c^2=36-25=11
..
