$\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$

(A) The vertices are $(\pm 5, 0)$,which lie on the $x$-axis. Thus,the equation is of the form $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.Here,$a = 5$ and the distance of the foci from the center is $c = 4$.Using the relation $a^2 = b^2 + c^2$,we have $5^2 = b^2 + 4^2$.$25 = b^2 + 16 \implies b^2 = 9$.Substituting $a^2 = 25$ and $b^2 = 9$ into the standard equation,we get $\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$.
