Find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse.
16x2 + y2 = 16.
Find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse.
16x2 + y2 = 16.
16x2 + y2 = 16.
The given equation of the ellipse can be written in standard form as
or
= 1
Since the denominator of x2 < denominator of y2, the major axis is along the y-axis. Comparing the given equation with the standard equation.
= 1
we have b = 1 and a = 4
Also, e =
=
Hence the foci, (0, c) and (0, -c) are(0,
and (0, -
; vertices, (0, a) and (0, a) are (0, 4) and (0, -4); the length of the major axis, 2b is 2 units and the eccentricity of the ellipse, e is
.
The length of latus rectum =
=
=
