Question

Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: Ends of major axis (±3, 0), ends of minor axis (0, ±2)

Answer 1

Ends of major axis (±3, 0), ends of minor axis (0, ±2)

Here, the major axis is along the x-axis.

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse will be of the form, where a is the semi-major axis.

Accordingly, a = 3 and b = 2.

Thus, the equation of the ellipse is.
