You asked:

Investigate the equation: 1=x24+y291 = \frac{{x}^{2}}{4} + \frac{{y}^{2}}{9}.

MathBot Answer:

1=x24+y291 = \frac{{x}^{2}}{4} + \frac{{y}^{2}}{9} is an equation of an ellipse, and is equivalent to x24+y29=1\frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{y^{2}}{9} = 1.


It is centered at (0,0)\left(0, 0\right).

Its foci are (0,5)\left(0, \sqrt{5}\right) and (0,5)\left(0, - \sqrt{5}\right).

Its minor axis has length 44 with endpoints (2,0)\left(-2, 0\right) and (2,0)\left(2, 0\right).

Its major axis has length 66 with endpoints (0,3)\left(0, -3\right) and (0,3)\left(0, 3\right).

The ellipse has parameterization: x(θ)=2sin(θ)y(θ)=3cos(θ)\begin{aligned}x\left(\theta\right) &= 2 \sin{\left(\theta \right)}\\y\left(\theta\right) &= 3 \cos{\left(\theta \right)}\end{aligned}
