\n" ); document.write( " Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+=+1+\"
\n" ); document.write( "where Pt(h,k) is the center. (a variable positioned to correspond with major axis)
\n" ); document.write( " a and b are the respective vertices distances from center
\n" ); document.write( " and ±\"sqrt%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29\"are the foci distances from center: a > b
\n" ); document.write( "sum of focal radii = 10, a = 10/2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( " 4 = ±\"sqrt%285%5E2-b%5E2%29\" b = 3
