Question

Write an equation of an ellipse in standard form with the center at the origin and with the given

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) General form of ellipse is.

$\frac{(x-x_o)^2}{a^2} +\frac{(y-y_o)^2}{b^2} =1$

where a and b are major and minor axes both in x and y.

(b) at the origin, it is

$\frac{x^2}{a^2} +\frac{y^2}{b^2} =1$

Explanation:

Origin is at (0,0) we put in these coordinate for $(x_o, y_o)$.
