Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse with Major axis of length 8 and foci (5,1) and (-1,1)
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "Given ellipse has a horizontal major axis
\n" ); document.write( "Its standard form of equation: \"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\", a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of center.
\n" ); document.write( "..
