Ex 10.3, 19 Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: Centre at (0, 0), major axis on the y-axis and passes through the points (3, 2) and (1, 6). Since major axis is along y-axis & centre is at (0,0) So required equation of ellipse is š^š/š^š + š^š/š^š = 1 Given that ellipse passes through point (3, 2) & (1, 6) Points (3, 2) & (1, 6) will satisfy equation of ellipse. Putting x = 3 & y = 2 in (1) (3)^2/š^2 + (2)^2/š^2 = 1 9/š^2 + 4/š^2 = 1 Putting x = 1 & y = 6 in (1) ć(1)ć^2/š^2 + ć(6)ć^2/š^2 = 1 1/š^2 + 36/š^2 = 1 From (3) 1/š^2 + 36/š^2 = 1 1/š^2 = 1 ā 36/š^2 Putting value of b2 in (2) 9/š^2 + 4/š^2 = 1 9(1/š^2 ) + 4/š^2 = 1 9(1ā36/š^2 ) + 4/š^2 = 1 9 ā 324/š^2 + 4/š^2 = 1 (ā320)/š^2 = 1 ā 9 (ā320)/š^2 = ā8 1/š^2 = (ā8)/(ā320) 1/š^2 = 8/320 1/š^2 = 1/40 a2 = 40 Putting value of š^2 in (3) 1/š^2 + 36/š^2 = 1 1/š^2 = 1 ā 36/š^2 1/š^2 = 1 ā 36 (1/40) 1/š^2 = (40 ā 36)/40 1/š^2 = 4/40 1/š^2 = 1/10 b2 = 10 Now required equation of ellipse is š„^2/š^2 + š¦^2/š^2 = 1 Putting value of b2 & a2 š^š/šš + š^š/šš = 1
