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 isÂ
P is any point on the ellipse  Verify thatÂ
 whereÂ
 andÂ
 are the foci of the ellipse.
The equation of hyperbola is :Â
which is the equation of hyperbola in the standard formÂ
∴ The foci and vertices lie on y-axis.
So, Â Â Â Â Â
Also, Â Â Â Â Â
The co-ordinates of foci are:
             Â
The co-ordinates of vetices are:
           Â
          Â
The length of transverse axis = 2a = 2 x 4 = 8
The length of conjugate axis = 2b = 2 x 7 = 14
Let the eccentricity be  e
∴                c = aeÂ
Length of latus rectum  =Â
