Hi,
Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+ where Pt(h,k) is the center. (a positioned to correspond with major axis)
a and b are the respective vertices distances from center and ±sqrt%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29are the foci distances from center: a > b
5x^2 + 2y^2 = 10
%28x%29%5E2%2F2+%2B+%28y%29%5E2%2F5+=+1+ ||C(0,0), a = sqrt%282%29 and b=sqr%285%29
( 0, ±sqrt%285%29) and ±(sqrt%282%29,0)are the Vertices
Foci: sqrt%285-2%29+=+sqrt%283%29 ( 0, ±sqrt%283%29)

See below descriptions of various conics
Standard Form of an Equation of a Circle is %28x-h%29%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2+=+r%5E2
where Pt(h,k) is the center and r is the radius

Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+%2B+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1+ where Pt(h,k) is the center. (a positioned to correspond with major axis)
a and b are the respective vertices distances from center and ±sqrt%28a%5E2-b%5E2%29are the foci distances from center: a > b
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening right and left is:
%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+-+%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+=+1 where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'a' units right and left of center.
Standard Form of an Equation of an Hyperbola opening up and down is:
%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2+-+%28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2+=+1 where Pt(h,k) is a center with vertices 'b' units up and down from center.
the vertex form of a parabola opening up or down, y=a%28x-h%29%5E2+%2Bk where(h,k) is the vertex.
The standard form is %28x+-h%29%5E2+=+4p%28y+-k%29, where the focus is (h,k + p)
the vertex form of a parabola opening right or left, x=a%28y-k%29%5E2+%2Bh where(h,k) is the vertex.
The standard form is %28y+-k%29%5E2+=+4p%28x+-h%29, where the focus is (h +p,k )
