You asked:

Investigate the equation: \(\frac{9 {x}^{2}}{25} + \frac{9 {y}^{2}}{16} = 1\).

MathBot Answer:

\(\frac{9 {x}^{2}}{25} + \frac{9 {y}^{2}}{16} = 1\) is an equation of an ellipse, and is equivalent to \(\frac{9 x^{2}}{25} + \frac{9 y^{2}}{16} = 1\).


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

Its foci are \(\left(-1, 0\right)\) and \(\left(1, 0\right)\).

Its minor axis has length \(\frac{8}{3}\) with endpoints \(\left(0, - \frac{4}{3}\right)\) and \(\left(0, \frac{4}{3}\right)\).

Its major axis has length \(\frac{10}{3}\) with endpoints \(\left(- \frac{5}{3}, 0\right)\) and \(\left(\frac{5}{3}, 0\right)\).

The ellipse has parameterization: \[\begin{aligned}x\left(\theta\right) &= \frac{5 \cos{\left(\theta \right)}}{3}\\y\left(\theta\right) &= \frac{4 \sin{\left(\theta \right)}}{3}\end{aligned}\]
