Conics

- Ellipse

51. Shown below in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane are 2 circles and 1 ellipse, each centered at (0,0). The larger circle has equation x2 + y2 = 25 and intersects the ellipse at exactly 2 points, both on the x-axis. The smaller circle has equation x2 + y2 = 4 and intersects the ellipse at exactly 2 points, both on the y-axis. Which of the following equations represents the ellipse?
