The equation (x^2/a^2) + (y^2/b^2) = 1 represents the standard form of an ellipse. To find the roots or solutions for this equation, one must isolate y or x, depending on the desired variable. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in the question posed and suggests that understanding the geometric implications of the ellipse is crucial for further exploration. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts to solve the equation for more targeted assistance.

Uhmm, not sure what do you mean by formula this eqn, and get the roots? That's the euqtion of an ellipse. What's the exact question?teng125 said:for (x^2/a^2) + (y^2/b^2) = 1 ,
may i know how to formula this eqn to get the roots??
thanx
