Answer:
It is the second answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of an ellipse is
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 or x^2/b^2 + y^2/a^2 = 1
If the x is the main axis we use the first form. If the y is the main axis we use the second form. We will use the second form.
our a is 3 and our b is 4
x^2/3^2 + y^2/4^2

Answer:
x^2 -4x +2 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
The other root is the conjugate of the given one, so is 2-√2. The quadratic equation in factored form is then ...
(x -2-√2)(x -2+√2) = 0
Expanding this, we get ...
(x -2)^2 -(√2)^2 = 0
x^2 -4x +4 -2 = 0
x^2 -4x +2 = 0 . . . . the equation you're looking for
