Find an equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions.
Length of major axis: 14, length of minor axis: 12, foci on x-axis, centered at the origin
Solution
Length of major axis = 14 ======> a = 7
Length of minor axis = 12 =======> b = 6
foci on x-axis, centered at the origin
Then Equation of ellipse ======> y^2/a^2 + x^2/b^2 = 1 (a > b)
y^2/49 + x^2/36 = 1
