  4. DEFINITION • An ellipse is define as the locus of points P(x,y) from afixed point (the focus)and the fixed line (the directric) Where PS is less than PB ( PS<PB ).

  5. DEFINITION • An ellipse is the graph of all points the sum of whose distance from the fixed points is constant. The two fixed points are called foci.

  6. ELLIPSE WITH CENTRE (0,0) The standard equation for an ellipse with centre ( 0,0 ) and foci ( ± c,0 ) is Where c2 = a2 - b2 , if ( a² > b² )

  8. ELLIPSE WITH CENTRE (0,0) • F and F1 : Two fixed points on the major axis are called the foci. • AC : The longer axis of length 2a is known as the major axis • A and C : Major vertices ( of length a from its centre ) • BC : The shorter axis of length 2b is known as the minor axis • O : The intersection between the major axis and minor axis is the centre of ellipse. • GH and JK: A chord which passes through either focus ,which is perpendicular to the major axis is known as latus rectum. (Length of latus rectum is ) GF1=F1H or JF=FK :Half the length of the latus rectum is known as semi latus rectum Note: An ellipse is symmetrical with respect to its axis, Hence it has two foci, (c,0) and ( -c,0 ). An ellipse also has 2 vertices ( a,0 ), (-a,0)

  9. Example 1 Find an equation of the ellipse with vertices ( ± 4,0 ) and foci ( ± 2,0 ). Solution : • Since the vertices are (± 4,0 ), we conclude that a = 4. Since the foci are ( ± 2,0 ), • so we have c = 2. • Hence, b2 = a2 – c2 = 42 – 22 = 12 and equation of the ellipse is

  10. Example 2 Find the equation of the ellipse with centre (0,0) with the vertices at (3,0) and ( 0,2 ). • The standard equation of an ellipse is • Where c2 = a2 – b2 , ( a2 > b2 ) From the above equation a=3 and b=2. • Focus c2 = 2-3 • c = ± = • Equation of the ellipse, • Foci : F ( ,0) ; F1 (- ,0)

  11. Example 3 Sketch the ellipse Notes: The number under the x term is larger, the major axis is along the x -axis and the minor axis is along the y-axis. From the above equation a=3, b=2, centre (0,0) Focus, c = ± =±
