Question 787283: Write an equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics and center
at (0, 0).
Vertex: (0,4)
Focus: (0,2 sqrt 3) <-- like 2 then square root of 3
I can solve the other types of problems but I got confused when they threw in the square root number.

Write an equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics and center
at (0, 0).
Vertex: (0,4)
Focus: (0,2 sqrt 3) <-- like 2 then square root of 3
***
Given ellipse has a vertical major axis:
Its standard form:
center:(0,0)
a=4
a^2=16
c=2√3
c^2=4*3=12
c^2=a^2-b^2
b^2=a^2-c^2=16-12=4
equation:
