\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2B4y%5E2+=+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2F16+%2B+y%5E2%2F4+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2F4%5E2+%2B+y%5E2%2F2%5E2+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-0%29%5E2%2F4%5E2+%2B+%28y-0%29%5E2%2F2%5E2+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1\"

\n" ); document.write( "The \"x-0\" and \"y-0\" mean the center of the ellipse is (h,k) = (0,0).

\n" ); document.write( "a. Answer: the center is C(0,0).

\n" ); document.write( " The denominators are the squares of the semi-major and semi-minor axes. So the semi-major axis is 4 (in the x direction) and the semi-minor axis is 2 (in the y direction). So the lengths of the major and minor axes are 8 and 4.

\n" ); document.write( "b,c. Answer: major axis 8; minor axis 4.

\n" ); document.write( "\"c\" is the distance from the center of the ellipse to either focus; for an ellipse, c^2 = a^2 + b^2.

\n" ); document.write( "d. Answer: the distance from the center to each focus is \"sqrt%2816%2B4%29+=+sqrt%2820%29\"
