Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: Ends of major axis, ends of minor axis (±1, 0)

Open in App

Solution

Ends of major axis, ends of minor axis (±1, 0)

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

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

Accordingly, a = and b = 1.

Thus, the equation of the ellipse is.
