Find the equation of ellipse whose foci are (2, 3), (-2, 3) and whose semi major axis is of length \(\sqrt{5}\).
Solution : Here S = (2, 3) & S’ is (-2, 3) and b = \(\sqrt{5}\) \(\implies\) SS’ = 4 = 2ae \(\implies\) ae = 2 but \(b^2\) = \(a^2(1-e^2)\) \(\implies\) 5 = \(a^2\) – 4 \(\implies\) a = 3 Hence the equation to major axis is y = 3. Centre of ellipse is midpoint […]
