Ex 10.3, 20 Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: Major axis on the x-axis and passes through the points (4, 3) and (6, 2). Since Major axis is on the x-axis So required equation of ellipse is π^π/π^π + π^π/π^π = 1 Given that ellipse passes through point (4, 3) & (6, 2) Points (4, 3) & (6, 2) will satisfy the equation of ellipse Putting x = 4 & y = 3 in (1) γ(4)γ^2/π^2 + γ(3)γ^2/π^2 = 1 16/π^2 + 9/π^2 = 1 Putting x = 6 & y = 2 in (1) γ(6)γ^2/π^2 + γ(2)γ^2/π^2 = 1 36/π^2 + 4/π^2 = 1 From (3) 16/π^2 = 1 β 9/π^2 1/π^2 = 1/16 (1 β 9/π^2 ) Putting value of 1/π^2 in (2) 36/π^2 + 4/π^2 = 1 36(1/π^2 ) + 4/π^2 = 1 36(1/16 (1β9/π^2 )) + 4/π^2 = 1 36/16 (1β9/π^2 ) + 4/π^2 = 1 9/4 (1β9/π^2 ) + 4/π^2 = 1 9/4 β 81/γ4πγ^2 + 4/π^2 = 1 (β81)/(4π^2 ) + 4/π^2 = 1 β 9/4 (β81 + 16)/(4π^2 ) = (4 β 9)/4 (β65)/(4π^2 ) = (β5)/4 (β5)/4 (13/π^2 )= (β5)/4 13/π^2 = 1 1/π^2 = 1/13 b2 = 13 Putting value of b2 in 1/π^2 = 1/16 (1 β 9/π^2 ) 1/π^2 = 1/16 (1 β 9/13) 1/π^2 = 1/16 ( (13 β 9)/13) 1/π^2 = 1/16 ( 4/13) 1/π^2 = 1/52a a2 = 52 Equation of ellipse is π₯^2/π^2 + π¦^2/π^2 = 1 Putting value of a2 & b2 π^π/ππ + π^π/ππ = 1
