standard form: %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2=1
12x%5E2%2B6y%5E2=168......both sides divide by 168
12x%5E2%2F168%2B6y%5E2%2F168=168%2F168
cross%2812%29x%5E2%2Fcross%28168%2914%2Bcross%286%29y%5E2%2Fcross%28168%2928=1
x%5E2%2F14%2By%5E2%2F28=1....standard form
so, h=0,k=0,a=3.74,b=5.29
