  1. Question 1

    Q1. Standard form of an ellipse with major axis 2a, minor 2b:

    • A) (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1
    • B) (x²/b²) + (y²/a²) = 1
    • C) x² + y² = a²
    • D) (x²/a²) - (y²/b²) = 1

    Answer: (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1

    Explanation: Ellipse standard form uses a² under major axis (a > b). Hyperbola uses subtraction.
