Question
Find the equation of an ellipse that satisfies the following conditions
Ends of major axis at ends of minor axis at . Also find the co-ordinate of foci.
Solution
Ends of major axis lie on y-axis.
∴ Equation of ellipse in the standard form is
Ends of major axis are
Ends of minor axis are
Hence, from (i), the equation of ellipse is
Also,
∴ The foci are
