Concept explainers
To find: Equation of Ellipse.
Answer to Problem 5CT
Explanation of Solution
From given graph
We can say that
Equation of major axis is
Equation of minor axis is
Intersection of major axis and minor axis gives the center of Ellipse.
Therefore
Center of ellipse =
We know length of major axis =
End points of Major axis are
Therefore
Length of Major axis =
We know length of Minor axis is
End points of Minor axis are
The standard form of the ellipse with center
Therefore, the required equation of ellipse is,
