Question

(a) Since, $ae = \pm \,2$ $ \Rightarrow \,a = \pm \,4$        

$(\because \,\,e = 1/2)$

Now ${b^2} = {a^2}(1 - {e^2})$

$3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 48$

Vedclass · Answer

(a) Since, $ae = \pm \,2$ $ \Rightarrow \,a = \pm \,4$        

$(\because \,\,e = 1/2)$

Now ${b^2} = {a^2}(1 - {e^2})$

$ \Rightarrow $${b^2} = 16(1 - 1/4)$

$ \Rightarrow $${b^2} = 12$

Hence ellipse is$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{12}} = 1$

$ \Rightarrow $$3{x^2} + 4{y^2} = 48$.
