For the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions:
Length of minor axis 16, foci (0, ± 6).
Find the eccentricity of the ellipse.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 1 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Solution:
According to the data given above,
c = 6, a = 10 and b = 8
We know that the eccentricity of the ellipse is
\(e=\frac{c}{a}\)
⇒ \(e=\frac{6}{10}\)
⇒ \(e=\frac{3}{5}\)
Hence the eccentricity of the ellipse is \(\frac{3}{5}\)
∴ The correct option is (1)
Equation of Ellipse Question 2:
If equation of the ellipse is \(\rm \frac{x^2}{100}+\frac{y^2}{400}=1\), then
I. Vertices of the ellipse are (0, ±20)
II. Foci of the ellipse are (0. ±10√3)
III. Length of major axis is 40.
IV. Eccentricity of the ellipse is \(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\)
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The standard Equation of Ellipse is \(\rm \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)
Major Axis: x-axis
c2 = a2 - b2
Coordinate of foci (± c, 0)
Vertices (±a, 0)
Major axis = 2a
Minor Axis = 2b
Eccentricity = e = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
Latus Rectum = \(\frac{2b^2}{a}\)
Major Axis: y-axis
c2 = b2 - a2
Coordinate of foci (0, ± c)
Vertices (0, ±b)
Major axis = 2b
Minor Axis = 2a
Eccentricity = e = \(\frac{c}{b}\)
Latus Rectum = \(\frac{2a^2}{b}\)
Calculation:
Given:
Equation of the ellipse is \(\rm \frac{x^2}{100}+\frac{y^2}{400}=1\)
Here, a2 = 100 and b2 = 400
a = 10 and b = 20
Here, y-axis is the major axis.
Statement I: Vertices of the ellipse are (0, ± 20)
Vertices (0, ±b) = (0, ± 20)
Statement I is correct.
Statement II: Foci of the ellipse are (0. ±10√3)
c2 = b2 - a2 = 400 - 100 = 300
c = √300 = 10√3
Coordinate of foci (0, ± c) = (0, ±10√3)
Statement II is correct.
Statement III: Length of major axis is 40.
Major axis = 2b = 40
Statement III is correct.
Statement IV: Eccentricity of the ellipse is \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
Eccentricity = e = \(\frac{c}{b}\)
e = \(\frac{10√3}{20}\) = \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
Statement IV is correct.
∴ All the statements are correct.
Equation of Ellipse Question 3:
If S and S' are the foci of the ellipse and \(\frac{x^2}{18} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1\) P be a point on the ellipse, then min(SP.S'P) + max(SP.S'P) is equal to :
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 3 Detailed Solution
Calculation:
PS + PS' = 2 × 3 √2
⇒ b2 = a2 (1 - e2) ⇒ 9 = 18( 1 - e2)
⇒ e = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\)
Diretrix x = \(\frac{a}{e} = \frac{3\sqrt2}{\frac{1}{\sqrt2}{}} = 6\)
⇒ PS.PS' = \(PS.PS' = | \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} (3\sqrt{2} \cos \theta - 6)|\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}| 18 cos^2\theta - 36|\)
⇒ (PS. PS')max = 18 and (PS .PS')min = 9
Sum = 27
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
Equation of Ellipse Question 4:
The equation of the ellipse whose vertices are at (± 5, 0) and foci at (± 4, 0) is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Equation of ellipse: \(\rm\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\)
Eccentricity (e) = \(\rm\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2 }{a^2}}\)
Where, vertices = (± a, 0) and focus = (± ae, 0)
Calculation:
Here, vertices of ellipse (± 5, 0) and foci (±4, 0)
So, a = ±5 ⇒ \(a^2=25\) and
ae = 4 ⇒ e = 4/5
Now, 4/5 = \(\rm\sqrt{1-\frac{b^2 }{5^2}}\)
\(⇒ \rm\frac{16}{25}=\rm\frac{25-b^2}{25}\\⇒ 16=25-b^2 \\⇒ b^2=9 \)
∴ Equation of ellipse = \(\rm \frac {x^2}{25} + \frac {y^2}{9} = 1\)
Hence, option (1) is correct.
Equation of Ellipse Question 5:
Find the foci of the ellipse \(\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{36}} = 1\) ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 5 Detailed Solution
CONCEPT:
The properties of a vertical ellipse \(\frac{{{x^2}}}{b^2} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{a^2} = 1\) where 0 < b < a are as follows:
- Centre of ellipse is (0, 0)
- Vertices of ellipse are: (0, - a) and (0, a)
- Foci of ellipse are: (0, - ae) and (0, ae)
- Length of major axis is 2a
- Length of minor axis is 2b
- Eccentricity of ellipse is given by: \(e = \frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} - {b^2}} }}{a}\)
CALCULATION:
Given: Equation of ellipse is \(\frac{{{x^2}}}{4} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{36}} = 1\)
As we can see that the given ellipse is a vertical ellipse.
By comparing the given equation of ellipse with \(\frac{{{x^2}}}{b^2} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{a^2} = 1\) where 0 < b < a we get,
⇒ a = 6, b = 2
As we know that, eccentricity of ellipse is given by: \(e = \frac{{\sqrt {{a^2} - {b^2}} }}{a}\)
⇒ \(e = \frac{{\sqrt {{6^2} - {2^2}} }}{6} = \frac{2\sqrt 2}{3}\)
⇒ ae = 4√2
As we know that, foci of a vertical ellipse are: (0, - ae) and (0, ae)
So, the foci of the given ellipse are: (0, - 4√2) and (0, 4√2)
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
Equation of Ellipse Question 6:
The equation of the ellipse having foci (2, 0), ( -2, 0) and minor axis of length 8 units is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The distance between the centre and the focus of an ellipse is c = ae
The equation of an ellipse with the length of the major axis 2a and the minor axis 2b is given by: \(\rm \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\).
Calculation:
Length of the minor axis = 2b = 8.
⇒ b = 4.
Also, c = distance between the centre and the focus = ae = 2.
c2 = a2e2 = a2 - b2
∴ 22 = a2 - 42
⇒ a2 = 20
Equation of the ellipse = \(\rm \frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1\).
⇒ \(\rm \frac{x^2}{20}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1\).
Equation of Ellipse Question 7:
The equation of an ellipse whose focus is at (1, 0), the directrix is x + y + 1 = 0 and eccentricity is equal to \(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\), is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Eccentricity: the ratio of the distance between a point on the ellipse and its focus to the distance between the point and the directrix is called its eccentricity.
Calculation:
Let P(x, y) be a point on the ellipse, F(1, 0) be its focus and D = x + y + 1 = 0 be its directrix.
PF = e × PD
⇒ PF2 = e2 × PD2
⇒ (x - 1)2 + (y - 0)2 = \(\rm \frac12 \times\left(\frac{x+y+1}{\sqrt{1^2+1^2}}\right)^2\)
⇒ 4(x2 - 2x + 1 + y2) = x2 + y2 + 1 + 2xy + 2x + 2y
⇒ 3x2 + 3y2 - 2xy - 10x - 2y + 3 = 0
Equation of Ellipse Question 8:
The foci of the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{49}+\frac{y^2}{24}=1\) are
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 8 Detailed Solution
Concept Used:
The standard equation of an ellipse with major axis along the x-axis is \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\), where a > b.
The foci of the ellipse are at (±c, 0), where c² = a² - b².
Calculation
Given: The equation of the ellipse is \(\frac{x^2}{49} + \frac{y^2}{24} = 1\).⇒ a² = 49 and b² = 24
⇒ a = 7 and b = \(\sqrt{24}\)
⇒ c² = a² - b² = 49 - 24 = 25
⇒ c = \(\sqrt{25}\) = 5
⇒ The foci are at (±5, 0).
∴ The foci of the ellipse are (5, 0) and (-5, 0).
The correct option is 4) (5, 0) and (-5, 0).
Equation of Ellipse Question 9:
An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of the circle \((x-1)^{2}+y^{2}=1\) as its semi minor axis and a diameter of the circle \(x^{2}+(y-2)^2=4\) as its semi-major axis. If the centre of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are co ordinate axes then, the ellipse is
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 9 Detailed Solution
Calculation
\(eq1:\quad (x-1)^2+y^2=1\)
Diameter of this circle =2
\(eq2:\quad x^2+(y-2)^2=4\)
Diameter of this circle =4
Length of semi-minor axis =2 [along X-axis]
Length of semi major axis =4 [along Y-axis]
Required ellipse \(eq3:\quad \dfrac{x^2}{2^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{4^2}=1\Rightarrow 4x^2+y^2=16\)
Hence option 3 is correct
Equation of Ellipse Question 10:
An ellipse, with foci at \( (0, 2) \) and \( (0, -2) \) and mirror axis of length \( 4 \), passes through which of the following points?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Equation of Ellipse Question 10 Detailed Solution
(here \( a < b \))
\( \because a^{2} = b^{2} (1 - e^{2}) \)
\( \therefore b^{2} = 8 \)
\( \therefore \) equation of ellipse \( \dfrac{x^{2}}{4} + \dfrac{y^{2}}{8} = 1 \).
