axis (x^2)/9+(y^2)/(64)=1

axis

semi - major axis b = 8, semi - minor axis a = 3

Solution steps

\frac{x ^{2}}{9} + \frac{y ^{2}}{64} = 1

Rewrite

\frac{x ^{2}}{9} + \frac{y ^{2}}{64} = 1

in the form of the standard ellipse equation

\frac{( x - 0 ) ^{2}}{3 ^{2}} + \frac{( y - 0 ) ^{2}}{8 ^{2}} = 1

Therefore ellipse properties are:

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 3, b = 8

b > a

therefore

b

is semi-major axis and

a

is semi-minor axis

Ellipse with center (h, k) = (0, 0), b = 8, a = 3
