what is the equation for this conic section with An ellipse with vertices (-4, 0) and (4, 0) and a minor axis of length 6.
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "This is an ellipse with horizontal major axis. (x-coordinate changes but y-coordinates do not)Its standard form of equation: \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\", a>b, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
