  4. For example, An ellipse is the set of all points P in a plane such that the sum of the distances from P to two fixed points, F1 and F2, called the foci, is a constant. P P P F1 F2 2a F1P + F2P = 2a

  5. x2 y2 + = 1 a2 b2 Horizontal Major Axis: y (0, b) (a, 0) (–a, 0) a2 > b2 a2 – b2 = c2 x O F1(–c, 0) F2 (c, 0) (0, –b) length of major axis: 2alength of minor axis: 2b Distance from midpoint and foci: c

  6. x2 y2 + = 1 a2 b2 Vertical Major Axis: y (0, b) F1 (0, c) (–a, 0) (a, 0) b2 > a2 x O b2 – a2 = c2 F2(0, –c) length of major axis: 2blength of minor axis: 2a (0, –b) Distance from midpoint and foci: c

  7. x2 y2 + = 1 16 9 Write an equation of an ellipse in standard form with the center at the origin and with the given vertex and co-vertex. (4,0), (0,3) Co-Vertices: (0,3) Vertices : (4,0) (0,-3) (-4,0) So a = 4 So b = 3 a² = 16 b² = 9

  8. x2 y2 + = 1 64 256 Find an equation of an ellipse for the given height and width with the center at (0,0) h = 32 ft, w = 16 ft 16 Distance b is from the center is 32 ft Distance a is from the center is 8 16 ft a = 8 a² = 64 b = 16 b² = 256

  9. x2 y2 y + = 1 25 9 x Find the foci and graph the ellipse. a2 = 25 b2 = 9 a = ±5 b = ±3 (0, 3) 25 – 9 = c2 (–5, 0) (5, 0) (–4, 0) 16 = c2 (4, 0) ±4 = c (0,-3)

  10. x2 y2 y + = 1 9 25 x Graph the ellipse. Find the foci. a2 = 9 b2 = 25 (0, 5) a = ±3 b = ±5 (0,4) (–3, 0) (3, 0) b2– a2= c2 25 – 9 = c2 (0,-4) 16 = c2 ±4 = c (0,-5)

  11. x2 y2 + = 1 a2 b2 y2 x2 + = 1 64 89 Write an equation of an ellipse for the given foci and co-vertices. Foci: (±5,0), co-vertices: (0,±8) Horizontal axis c² = 25 and b² = 64 Since c = 5 and b = 8 a2 – b2 = c2 a2 – 64 = 25 + 64 + 64 a2 = 89
