The equation you provided resembles the general form of the equation of an ellipse:

\[
\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1
\]

However, you left the equation incomplete at the end. Based on the structure so far:

\[
\frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{36} = 1
\]

This is an equation of an ellipse, centered at the origin \((0,0)\), with the semi-major axis length \( b = 6 \) and the semi-minor axis length \( a = 3 \), because \( a^2 = 9 \) and \( b^2 = 36 \).

Would you like more details on how ellipses are analyzed, or was there something else you meant to include?
