Final answer:

The end points of the major axis of the given ellipse are (0,7) and (0,-7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation x²/4 + y²/49 = 1 represents an ellipse with its center at the origin (0,0) and semi-major axis of 7 units (vertical axis) and semi-minor axis of 2 units (horizontal axis).

Since the 'a' value under the x² term is the square of the semi-major axis and the 'b' value under the y² term is the square of the semi-minor axis, the end points of the major axis can be found by adding and subtracting the semi-major axis from the center point.

Therefore, the end points of the major axis are (0,7) and (0,-7).
