The standard form is x²/4 + y²/9 = 1; the center is (0, 0); the semiaxis lengths are 3 and 2; the major axis is vertical; and the major and minor axis lengths are 6, 4.

The standard form is x²/4 + y²/9 = 1; the center is (0, 0); the semiaxis lengths are 3 and 2; the major axis is horizontal; and the major and minor axis lengths are 6 and 4.

The standard form is x²/2 + y²/3 = 1; the center is (0, 0); the semiaxis lengths are sqrt(3) and sqrt(2); the major axis is vertical; and the major and minor axis lengths are 2sqrt(3) and 2sqrt(2).

The standard form is x²/9 + y²/4 = 1; the center is (0, 0); the semiaxis lengths are 3 and 2; the major axis is horizontal; and the major and minor axis lengths are 6 and 4.
