x^2/16 - y^2/4 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Transverse Axis: horizontal
\n" ); document.write( "Center: (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( "a = 4
\n" ); document.write( "b = 2
\n" ); document.write( "c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(16 + 4)
\n" ); document.write( "c = sqrt(20) = 2*sqrt(5)
\n" ); document.write( "Vertices: (-4,0) and (4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Foci: (-2*sqrt(5),0) and (2*sqrt(5),0)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
