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
Since foci and the vertices
lie on the x-axis.
∴ The equation of the hyperbola is ...(i)
Comparing foci :
Comparing vertices :
Now,
Hence, from (i), the equation of hyperbola is
