find the equation of the ellipse in the following cases:

eccentricity and major axis = 12


Given that we need to find the equation of the ellipse whose eccentricity is and the major axis is 12.


Let us assume the equation of the ellipse as (a2>b2).



We know that eccentricity(e) =






We know that length of ,ajor axis is 2a.


2a = 12


a = 6


a2 = 36



b2 = 27


The equation of the ellipse is




3x2 + 4y2 = 108


The equation of the ellipse is 3x2 + 4y2 = 108.
