Given that major axis is on x-axis, then the equation of ellipse is:
x2 /a2 + y2 /b2 = 1
=> 42 /a2 + 32 /b2 = 1
=> 16/a2 + 9/b2 = 1
=> 16b2 + 9a2 = a2 *b2 ...........1
And
x2 /a2 + y2 /b2 = 1
=> 62 /a2 + 22 /b2 = 1
=> 36/a2 + 4/b2 = 1
=> 36b2 + 4a2 = a2 *b2 .......2
Multiply by 9 in equation 2, we get
324b2 + 36a2 = 9a2 *b2 .......3
Subtract equation 1 - equation 3, we get
-260b2 = -5a2 *b2
=> a2 = 260/5
=> a2 = 52
From eqaution 2, we get
36b2 + 4(52) = (52) *b2
=> 36b2 + 208 = 52b2
=> 52b2 + 36b2 = 208
=> 16b2 = 208
=>b2 = 208/16
=> b2 = 13
So, the required equation is x2 /52 + y2 /13 = 1
