Find an equation in standard form for the ellipse with the vertical major axis of length 18, and minor axis of length 16.
**
standard form of equation for an ellipse with vertical major axis:
, a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center.
assumed center: (0,0) (Please specify next time)
length of major axis=18=2a
a=9
a^2=81
length of minor axis=16=2b
b=8
b^2=64
Equation of given ellipse
