Algebra ->  Quadratic-relations-and-conic-sections -> SOLUTION: The instructions say "write each equation of each ellipse in standard for with center form with center at the origin and witH the given characteristics." The problem is height 8; w      Log On

You're talking about this ellipse:



The equation of an ellipse with center at the origin is:



Half the width is  of  or .
Half the height is  of  or .

Therefore the equation is
