Ellipse Distance from center to vertex = a Distance from center to co-vertex = b Distance from center to foci = c b c a Length of major axis = 2a Length of minor axis = 2b Eccentricity = c/a directrices a2/c or a/e Jeff Bivin -- LZHS
Eccentricity • Reminder: eccentricity describes the roundness of a conic • For an ellipse: 0<e<1 An eccentricity close to zero means the ellipse is more rounded. See Definition of Ellipse to look at eccentricities

Eccentricityof An Ellipse • An ellipse is the locus of points such that • The ratio of the distance to the nearer focus to the distance to the nearer directrix … • Equals a constant that is less than one. • This constant is the eccentricity.

b2 = 16. This is the smaller of the two numbers in the denominator. a2 = 25. This is the larger of the two numbers in the denominator. Graph : 25x2 + 16y2 = 400. Solution We begin by expressing the equation in standard form. Because we want 1 on the right side, we divide both sides by 400. The equation is the standard form of an ellipse’s equation with a2 = 25 and b2 = 16. Because the denominator of the y2 term is greater than the denominator of the x2 term, the major axis is vertical.
Let's look at how the values of a,b,h,and k affect the ellipse • Note the directrices
