x2/82 + y2/242 = 1
By taking a coordinate system with origin at the center of the ellipse, and x-axis along the major axis, and y-axis along the minor axis, then the ellipse intercepts the x-axis at -5 and 5, and the y-axis at -2 and 2. So that the equation of the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 becomes x2/52 + y2/22 = 1 or x2/25 + y2/4 = 1.
hyperbola
If a = b then it is a circle; otherwise it is an ellipse.
No, the graph of an oval/ellipse is not a function because it does not pass the vertical line test.
In the context of an ellipse, the vertical axis is the major axis.
This ellipse is centered at the origin and has a horizontal axis of length 26 and a vertical axis of length 12 What is its equation?

Ellipse formula, centered at the origin, where the vertical axis is the major axis: x2/b2 + y2/a2 = 1, a > b Since the major axis is 8, then a = 4. Since the minor axis is 4, then b = 2. Thus, the equation of the ellipse is: x2/4 + y2/16 = 1.
x2/4^2+y2/12^2=1
