Given the length of the major and minor axis how to write the equation of the ellipse

The video tutorial explains how to write the equation of an ellipse given the lengths of the major and minor axes and the center at (0,0). It covers the setup of the equation, understanding the roles of the major and minor axes, and calculating distances from the center to the vertices and co-vertices. The tutorial concludes with the final equation setup.

What does the term 'major axis' refer to in the context of an ellipse?

Describe the process of deriving the equation of an ellipse from its axes lengths and center.
