Hi
Note: Standard Form of an Equation of an Ellipse is
where Pt(h,k) is the center. (a variable positioned to correspond with major axis)
a and b are the respective vertices distances from center
Write the equation of the ellipse with the given characteristics and center at (0,0).
Vertex: (4,0)
Co-Vertex: (0,2)
