Write an equation of an ellipse with the given characteristics.
Center (0,0), vertical major axis of length 12, minor axis of length 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The major semi-axis is vertical of the length of 12/2 = 6.
The minor semi-axis is horizontal of the length of 4/2 = 2.
The standard equation of the ellipse is
+ = 1.
