\"4x%5E2%2B9y%5E2=36\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%284x%5E2%2B9y%5E2%29%2F36=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2%2F9%2By%5E2%2F4=1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note the relationship \"x%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2By%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1\", and there is a constant c so that \"c%5E2=a%5E2-b%5E2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your example has \"c%5E2=9-4=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "and from that,
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=sqrt%285%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your foci each is c=sqrt(5) from the center of the ellipse and are along the long axis of the ellipse.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Major axis is horizontal, along the x-axis.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You have \"%28x-0%29%5E2%2F9%2B%28y-0%29%5E2%2F4=1\" so the center point is at (0,0).
\n" ); document.write( "Foci are at ( \"-sqrt%285%29\", 0 ) and (\"sqrt%285%29\", 0 ).
\n" ); document.write( "
