In each of the following, find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions:
Ends of major axis (0,
), ends of minor axis (
1, 0)
Ends of major axis (0,
), ends of minor axis (
).
Here, the major axis is along the x-axis.
Therefore, the equation of the ellipse will be of the form
=1, where a is the semi-major axis.
Accordingly, a=
and b = 1.
Thus, the equation for the ellipse
= 1 or,
= 1.
