Identify an equation in standard form for an ellipse with its center at the origin, a vertex at (0, 12), and a focus at (0, 8).

Explanation:
From the given:
Foci:
F
1
(
0
,
8
)
,
F
2
(
0
,
−
8
)

Co-vertices at
(
8
,
0
)
and (-8, 0)#
by inspection, the center of the ellipse is at Origin
(
0
,
0
)

that means
Center
(
h
,
k
)
=
(
0
,
0
)
Also, by inspection,
c
=
8
the distance from the center to a focus.
Also,
b
=
8
the distance from the center to one end point of the minor axis also called semi-minor axis length.
Compute for semi-major axis length
a
:
a

=
b
2
+
c

a
=
√
b

+
c

a
=

Use now the standard Form of the equation of ellipse for Vertical Major Axis.

Let us put on the values of
h
=

k
=
