Question 1198620
how to convert the major axis = 186,014, 000 miles and minor axis = 185, 987, 932.9 miles into a general form or standard form?
<pre>
The standard form of an ellipse with horizontal major axis and center (0,0) is

{{{x^2/a^2}}}{{{""+""}}}{{{y^2/b^2}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{1}}}

{{{matrix(1,10, 
a,""="",1/2,the,major,axis,""="",expr(1/2)186014000,""="",93007000)}}}

{{{matrix(1,10, 
b,""="",1/2,the,minor,axis,""="",expr(1/2)185987932.9,""="",92993988.45)}}}

{{{x^2/93007000^2}}}{{{""+""}}}{{{y^2/92993988.45^2}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{1}}}

{{{x^2/8650302049000000}}}{{{""+""}}}{{{y^2/8647881887838733.4025}}}{{{""=""}}}{{{1}}}
