Which statement best defines an ellipse and contrasts it with a circle?
Starting with the circle x2+y2=r2x^2 + y^2 = r^2, which algebraic substitution describes stretching the circle horizontally by factor s>1s>1 to form an ellipse?
Find the foci coordinates for the ellipse 9x2+16y2=1449x^2 + 16y^2 = 144 (ellipse centered at origin).
Is the point (33, 22) inside, on, or outside the ellipse x216+y29=1\(\frac{x^2}{16}\)+\(\frac{y^2}{9}\)=1?
Design an elliptical garden with major axis length 2020 and minor axis length 1212, centered at the origin with horizontal major axis. Provide the standard-form equation and the distance from the center to each focus.
