\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where Pt(h,k) is the center and a and b are the respective vertices distances from center.
\n" ); document.write( "foci: (+9,0) major axis along the x=axis
\n" ); document.write( "major axis of length: 24 2a = 24 a = 24/2 = 12
