Explanation Definition used: Equation of an ellipse with center at ( 0 , 0 ) , and major axis along x-axis: “An equation of the ellipse with center at ( 0 , 0 ) , foci at ( ± c , 0 ) ( 0 , ± c ) , ends of the minor axis at ( 0 , ± b ) and vertices at ( ± a , 0 ) is x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 where a > b > 0 and b 2 = a 2 − c 2 .” Equation of an ellipse with center at ( 0 , 0 ) , and major axis along y-axis: “An equation of the ellipse with center at ( 0 , 0 ) , foci at ( 0 , ± c ) , ends of the minor axis at ( ± b , 0 ) and vertices at ( 0 , ± a ) is x 2 b 2 + y 2 a 2 = 1 where a > b > 0 and b 2 = a 2 − c 2 .” Calculation: The given equation of an ellipse is 49 x 2 + 8 y 2 = 196 . First rewrite the given equation in form of either x 2 a 2 + y 2 b 2 = 1 or x 2 b 2 + y 2 a 2 = 1 as follows. 49 x 2 + 8 y 2 = 196 49 x 2 + 8 y 2 196 = 196 196 ( ∵ Divide by 196 on both side ) 49 x 2 196 + 8 y 2 196 = 1 x 2 4 + 2 y 2 49 = 1 x 2 2 2 + y 2 ( 7 2 ) 2 = 1 So, the equation of the ellipse 49 x 2 + 8 y 2 = 196 can be written as x 2 2 2 + y 2 ( 7 2 ) 2 = 1
