What is the center, foci, and the length of the major and minor axes for the ellipse whose equation is, 16x^2 + 25y^2 + 32x - 150y = 159?
\n" ); document.write( "STANDARD EQN.OF ELLIPSE IS
\n" ); document.write( "(X-H)^2/A^2 + (Y-K)^2/B^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "WHERE
\n" ); document.write( "CENTRE IS (H,K)
\n" ); document.write( "ECCENTRICITY = E = {(A^2-B^2)/A^2}^0.5
