Q. Write the equation in standard form for the ellipse

x^2 + 8y^2 = 16

.

Identify Standard Form: To write the equation of an ellipse in standard form, we need to have it in the form $(\frac{x^2}{a^2}) + (\frac{y^2}{b^2}) = 1$ , where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes, respectively.
Divide by $16$ : Divide both sides of the equation $x^2 + 8y^2 = 16$ by $16$ to get the equation in standard form. $\newline$ $x^2/16 + 8y^2/16 = 16/16$
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation to get the standard form. $x^2/16 + y^2/2 = 1$
