Find the equation of an ellipse whose foci are centre is at origin and which passes through the point (4, 1).
Show that the locus of a point which moves so that the sum of its distances from two points is equal to 6, is an ellipse whose eccentricity is
Let the point be It is given that
Squaring both sides, we get
Squaring again, we get
Hence, the locus of is
which is the equation of a hyperbola in the standard form
