Ellipses Part 1 Circle/Ellipse Quiz: March 9 Midterm: March 11
2
Definition: An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distance from P to two fixed point (F 1, F 2 ) call foci is constant.
3
Ellipses can have a Horizontal Major Axis or a Vertical Major Axis: Major Axis Is the longer axis of the ellipse The endpoints of the major axis are called VERTICES. The coordinates for your foci are on the major axis. Minor Axis Is the shorter axis of the ellipse The endpoints of the minor axis are called CO-VERTICES.
4
Horizontal Major Axis
5
Vertical Major Axis
6
Note: When the bigger number is under the x-term, the major axis will be on the x-axis (or parallel to it if translated) When the bigger number is under the y-term, the major axis will be on the y-axis (or parallel to it if translated).
7
Note The length of the major axis is 2a The length of the minor axis is 2b The foci are always on the major axis The following are always true for ellipses: a 2 > b 2 a 2 – b 2 = c 2
8
Note “a” is your vertices coordinate “b” is your co-vertices coordinate “c” is your foci coordinate
9
Example 1: Identify the vertices, co-vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation 9x 2 + y 2 = 36
10
Example 2: Write the standard form equation for an ellipse with foci of (0, -4) and (0, 4) and with minor axis of 6.
11
Example 3: Write the standard form equation for an ellipse with foci of (-8,0) and (8,0) with major axis of 20.
12
You Try: Identify the vertices, co-vertices, and foci of the ellipse with equation
13
You Try: Write the standard equation for an ellipse with foci (-12, 0) and (12, 0) and with a major axis of 26.

Ellipses Part 2 Circle/Ellipse Quiz: March 9 Midterm: March 11
16
Translated Ellipses Horizontal Major Axis: Vertical Major Axis:
17
Example 3: Write the standard equation for an ellipse with its center at (2,-4) and with a horizontal major axis of 10 and minor axis of 6. Identify vertices and co-vertices. **Use the value of a to find the vertices, and the value of b to find the co-vertices
18
You Try: Write the standard equation for an ellipse with its center at (-1,-2) and with a vertical major axis of 8 and minor axis of 4. Give the vertices and co-vertices
19
Example 4: An ellipse is defined by 4x 2 + y 2 + 24x – 4y + 36 = 0. Write the standard equation, and identify the coordinates of its center, vertices, co-vertices, and foci. Sketch the graph.
