What is the standard form of the ellipse with the equation
16x^2+25y^2=150y+175?
complete the square:
16x^2+25(y^2-6y+9)=175+225
16x^2+25(y-3)^2=400
x^2/25+(y-3)^2/16=1
This is an equation of an ellipse with horizontal major axis.
Its standard form: (x-h)^2/a^2+(y-k)^2/b^2=1, (h,k)=(x,y) coordinates of center
