QUESTION 1

Given foci to be


(\pm1,0)


c = \pm1

and

co-vertices


(0, \pm2)


b = \pm \: 2


{b}^(2) = 4

This implies the minor axis of the ellipse is on the y-axis and the major axis is on the x-axis.

We use the equation


{a}^(2) - {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)

to determine the vertices.


{a}^(2) - {( \pm2)}^(2) = { ( \pm1)}^(2)


{a}^(2) - 4 = 1


{a}^(2) = 5

The equation of the ellipse is given by;


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{ {a}^(2) } + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{ {b}^(2) } = 1


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{ 5} + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{4} = 1

QUESTION 2

The given ellipse has

Foci


(0,\pm2)


c = \pm2

and co-vertices,


(\pm1,0)


b = \pm1


{b}^(2) = 1

We use the equation,


{a}^(2) - {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)

to determine the vertices.


{a}^(2) - { (\pm1)}^(2) = {( \pm2)}^(2)


{a}^(2) - 1= 4


{a}^(2) =5

The major axis of the ellipse is on the y-axis this time.

The equation is given by;


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{ {b}^(2) } + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{ {a}^(2) } = 1


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{ 4} + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{ 5} = 1

QUESTION 3

The given ellipse has

Foci


(0,\pm4)

and co-vertices,


(\pm4,0)


b = \pm4


{b}^(2) = 16


{a}^(2) - {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)


{a}^(2) - 16= 16


{a}^(2) = 32

The major axis is on the y-axis.

The equation is,


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{ {b}^(2) } + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{ {a}^(2) } = 1


\frac{ {x}^(2) }{16} + \frac{ {y}^(2) }{32 } = 1
