Write an equation of the ellipse with a vertex at (5,0), a focus at (4,0) and a center at (0,0).
***
given ellipse has a horizontal major axis
its standard form of equation: , a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of center.
a=5 (distance from center to vertex)
a^2=25
c=4 (distance from center to focus)
c^2=16
a^2-b^2=c^2
b^2=a^2-c^2=25-16=9
equation:
