Find the standard equation of the ellipse with center (0, 4), a = 2c, and vertices (-4, 4) and (4, 4). Calculate its eccentricity. Sketch the graph of the ellipse, showing major axis, minor, axis and vertices. Remember, your equation should show the values of a² and b2 in the denominators. Type in your answers. Use whole numbers, fractions and no spaces (eg., 1/2, (3,4), x=5, y=6x+7): a2 is b2 is (h,k) is eccentricity e is
