The minor axis – B to B An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane the sum of whose distances from two fixed points is constant. Each fixed point is called a focus of the ellipse.

6. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 6-6 6.2 The Equation of an Ellipse Replacing a 2 – c 2 with b 2 gives the standard equation of an ellipse with the foci on the x-axis. Similarly, if the foci were on the y-axis, we get

Slide 6-7 6.2 The Equation of an Ellipse The ellipse with center at the origin and equation has vertices (  a, 0), endpoints of the minor axis (0,  b), and foci (  c, 0), where c 2 = a 2 – b 2. The ellipse with center at the origin and equation has vertices (0,  a), endpoints of the minor axis (  b, 0), and foci (0,  c), where c 2 = a 2 – b 2.

Slide 6-9 6.2 Finding Foci of an Ellipse ExampleFind the coordinates of the foci of the equation SolutionFrom the previous example, the equation of the ellipse in standard form is Since 9 > 4, a 2 = 9 and b 2 = 4. The major axis is along the x-axis, so the foci have coordinates

Slide 6-10 6.2 Finding the Equation of an Ellipse ExampleFind the equation of the ellipse having center at the origin, foci at (0, ±3), and major axis of length 8 units. Give the domain and range. Solution2a = 8, so a = 4. Foci lie on the y-axis, so the larger intercept, a, is used to find the denominator for y 2. The standard form is with domain and range [–4, 4].

Since a > b, a = 4 is associated with the y 2 term, so the vertices are on the vertical line through (2, –1). An ellipse centered at (h, k) with horizontal major axis of length 2a and vertical minor axis of length 2b has equation Similarly for ellipses with vertical major axis.

13. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 6-13 6.2 Hyperbolas If the center is at the origin, the foci are at (±c, 0). The midpoint of the line segment F F is the center of the hyperbola. The vertices are at (±a, 0). The line segment VV is called the transverse axis. A hyperbola is the set of all points in a plane the difference of whose distances from two fixed points is constant. The two fixed points are called the foci of the hyperbola.

14. Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 6-14 6.2 Standard Form of Equations for Hyperbolas Solving for y in the first equation gives If |x| is large, the difference approaches x 2. Thus, the hyperbola has asymptotes The hyperbola with center at the origin and equation has vertices (±a, 0) and foci (±c, 0), where c 2 = a 2 + b 2. The hyperbola with center at the origin and equation has vertices (0, ±a) and foci (0, ±c), where c 2 = a 2 + b 2.

These four points: (5, 7), (–5, 7), (5, –7), and (–5, –7), are the corners of the fundamental rectangle shown. The x-intercepts are ±5.
