Answer:
Major axis (0, +-14)
Explanation:
The equation of an ellipse with the center in the origin is:
[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]
So, to transform the equation into this form, we need to divide both sides by 784 as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 49x^2+16y^2=784 \\ \frac{49x^2}{784}+\frac{16y^2}{784}=\frac{784}{784} \\ \frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{49}=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
It means that a² = 16 and b² = 49. So, a = ±4 and b = ±7
Now, the major axis is 2 times the greater value between a and b. Since the greater value is b = 7, 2 times b is:
Major axis = (0, ±7*2) = (0, ±14)
