ELLIPSE

When a plane, somewhat tilted, intersect a cone forming a bounded curve,

the section form is an ellipse. Circle is a special form of ellipse. It’s just that
the plane that passed through the cone is parallel to the base of the cone.

 An ellipse is a set of points (loci) that the sum of its
distances from the two fixed points is constant (the
constant is 2𝑎). The two fixed points, 𝐹1 and 𝐹2 , are called
foci. Notice Figure 3.2.

The general equation of ellipse is:

𝑨𝒙𝟐 + 𝑪𝒚𝟐 + 𝑫𝒙 + 𝑬𝒚 + 𝑭 = 𝟎 , 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝐴𝐶 > 0

Foci – (plural of focus) two fixed points, 𝐹1 and 𝐹2 , that are equidistant from the center. The sum of
the distance of any point in the ellipse from 𝐹1 and 𝐹2 is constant, that is 2𝑎.

Vertices – the two points, 𝑉1 and 𝑉2, in the ellipse collinear with the center and foci.

Covertices – two points, 𝑊1 and 𝑊2 , forming a segment that is perpendicular to the major axis passing
through the center.

Major axis – the distance from 𝑉1 to 𝑉2. The distance is equal to 2𝑎.

Minor axis – the distance from 𝑊1 to 𝑊2 . The distance is equal to 2𝑏.

𝑎 – the distance from center to a vertex.

𝑏 – the distance from center to a covertex.

NDDU-IBED-F-081
𝑐 – (small letter) the distance from center to a focus.

𝐶 – (big letter) the center of the ellipse.

[The values of 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 are always positive since they refer to distance.]

Note
In ellipse, the value of 𝑎 is always greater than the value of 𝑏.

Please consider the table below:

To find the value of 𝒂 or 𝒃 or 𝒄, you can use the equation:

𝒂𝟐 − 𝒃𝟐 = 𝒄𝟐

Question 2
Since ellipse has center, you too have someone/something that you consider to be at
the center of your life. With this, cite at least 2 specific possible outcomes if you put God
at the center of your life.
[Kindly write your answers in the attached answer sheet.]

 Integration

Putting God at the center of our lives will change

our perspective in life. When bad things happened,
we start looking at them as steppingstones for the Put God in
good. Also, you will have peace amidst chaotic the center
surroundings, and you will find your purpose in life.

Examples

1. Find the standard equation of the ellipse given the following conditions:
a. has foci 𝐹1 (−4, 0) and 𝐹2 (4, 0), for any point on it, the sum of its distances is 10.
b. has foci 𝐹1 (0, −5) and 𝐹2 (0,5), for any point on it, the sum of its distances is 16
c. vertices 𝑉1 (−6,3) and 𝑉2 (4,3), its minor axis is 8 units long
d. covertices 𝑊1 (−6, 1) and 𝑊2 (2, 1), foci 𝐹1 (−2, 4) and 𝐹2 (−2, −2)

3. Given the general equation of ellipse, determine its standard form of equation.
a. 4𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 − 16𝑥 − 6𝑦 − 39 = 0
b. 9𝑥 2 + 16𝑦 2 + 72𝑥 − 96𝑦 + 144 = 0

Solutions:

1. (a) The center of the ellipse is the midpoint of its foci, 𝐹1 (−4,0) and 𝐹2 (4,0). Using midpoint
formula:

𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 −4 + 4 0 + 0
𝐶( , )= 𝐶( , ) = 𝑪(𝟎, 𝟎)
2 2 2 2

The sum of its distances from any point in the ellipse is 2𝑎. So,

2𝑎 = 10 [Divide both sides by 2]

𝒂=𝟓

Given two points,

The distance from center to one focus is 𝒄. Just choose from the
foci. Let’s say from 𝐶(0, 0) to 𝐹1 (−4, 0). Using distance formula: (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) and (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 )
(𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 )
Midpoint Formula:
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦2 + 𝑦2
𝑐 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 𝑥= , 𝑦=
2 2
𝑐 = √(−4 − 0)2 + (0 − 0)2
= √(−4)2 + 0
Distance Formula:
= √16
𝒄=𝟒 𝑑 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

You will solve for the value of 𝒃 using 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 . Thus,

52 − 𝑏 2 = 42 [Substitute the values of 𝒂 and 𝒄 to the equation.]

25 − 𝑏2 = 16
[Apply Addition Property of Equality by adding −25 to
25 − 𝑏 2 − 25 = 16 − 25 both sides.]
−𝑏 2 = −9
(−1)(−𝑏 2 ) = (−9)(−1) [Apply Multiplication Property of Equality by multiplying
−1 to both sides.]
𝑏2 = 9
√𝑏 2 = √9 [Get the square root of both sides to find the value of 𝒃.]

𝒃=𝟑 [Always consider the positive value.]

NDDU-IBED-F-081
 𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐
For the standard equation, use 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 = 𝟏 since the foci have different 𝑥 values, and the center is at
the origin, 𝐶(0, 0). Again, we have 𝑪(𝟎, 𝟎), 𝒂 = 𝟓, and 𝒃 = 𝟑.
𝑥2 𝑦2 𝑥2 𝑦2
+ =1 + =1
𝟓2 𝟑2 25 9

𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐
∴ the standard equation of the ellipse is + = 𝟏.
𝟐𝟓 𝟗

1. (b) Center is the midpoint of its foci, 𝐹1 (0, −5) and 𝐹2 (0,5). Use midpoint formula to find the center:
𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 0 + 0 −5 + 5
𝐶( , ) =𝐶( , ) = 𝑪(𝟎, 𝟎)
2 2 2 2

The sum of its distances from any point in the ellipse is 𝟐𝒂. So,
2𝑎 = 16 [Divide both sides by 2]
𝒂=𝟖
To find the value of 𝒃, you must find first the value of 𝒄 since foci are given. Note that the distance
from center to a focus is 𝑐. Just choose from the foci. Let’s say from 𝐶(0, 0) to 𝐹1 (0, −5). Using
distance formula, we have: (𝑥1 , 𝑦1 ) (𝑥2 , 𝑦2 )

𝑐 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑐 = √(0 − 0)2 + (−5 − 0)2
= √0 + (−5)2
= √25
𝒄=𝟓

Solve for 𝒃 using 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 :

82 − 𝑏 2 = 52 [Substitute the values of 𝒂 and 𝒄 to the equation.]

64 − 𝑏 2 = 25
[Apply Addition Property of Equality by adding −64 to
64 − 𝑏 2 − 64 = 25 − 64 both sides.]
−𝑏 2 = −39
(−1)(−𝑏 2 ) = (−39)(−1) [Apply Multiplication Property of Equality by multiplying
−1 to both sides.]
𝑏 2 = 39
√𝑏 2 = √39 [Get the square root of both sides to find the value of 𝒃.]

𝒃 = √𝟑𝟗
𝒙𝟐 𝒚𝟐
For the standard equation, use the standard equation + 𝒂𝟐 = 𝟏 since the foci have different 𝑦
𝒃𝟐
values, and the center is at the origin, 𝐶(0, 0). Again, we have 𝑪(𝟎, 𝟎), 𝒂 = 𝟖, and 𝒃 = √𝟑𝟗.

∴ the standard equation of the ellipse is + 𝟔𝟒 = 𝟏.

1. (c) Center is the midpoint of its vertices:

𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 −6 + 4 3 + 3
𝐶( , ) = 𝐶( , ) = 𝑪(−𝟏, 𝟑)
2 2 2 2
𝑪(𝒉, 𝒌)

The distance from center to a vertex is 𝒂. Just choose from the vertices. Let’s say from 𝐶(0, 0) to
𝑉1 (−6, 3). Using distance formula, we have:
𝑎 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑎 = √[−6 − (−1)]2 + (3 − 3)2
= √(−5)2 + 0
= √25
𝒂=𝟓

The length of the minor axis is 𝟐𝒃. So,

2𝑏 = 8
𝒃=𝟒
(𝒙−𝒉)𝟐 (𝒚−𝒌)𝟐
For the standard equation, use 𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 = 𝟏 since the vertices have different 𝑥 values, and the
center is not at the origin, that is 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘). Again, we have 𝑪(−𝟏, 𝟑), 𝒂 = 𝟓, and 𝒃 = 𝟒.

(𝒙+𝟏)𝟐 (𝒚−𝟑)𝟐
∴ the standard equation of the ellipse is + = 𝟏.
𝟐𝟓 𝟏𝟔

1. (d) Center is the midpoint of 𝑊1 & 𝑊2 or the midpoint of 𝐹1 & 𝐹2 . Let’s say you choose 𝑊1 & 𝑊2 ,
𝑊1 (−6, 1) and 𝑊2 (2, 1): [The same answer if you choose 𝐹1 & 𝐹2 .]

𝑥1 +𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 −6 + 2 1 + 1
𝐶( , ) = 𝐶( , ) = 𝑪(−𝟐, 𝟏)
2 2 2 2

The distance from center to one covertex is 𝒃. Just choose from the covertices. Let’s say from
𝐶(−2, 1) to 𝑊1 (−6, 1). Using distance formula, we have:

NDDU-IBED-F-081
 𝑏 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑏 = √[−6 − (−2)]2 + (1 − 1)2
= √(−4)2 + 0
= √16
𝒃=𝟒

The distance from center to a focus is 𝒄. Just choose from the foci. Let’s say from 𝐶(−2, 1) to
𝐹1 (−2, 4). Using distance formula, we have:

𝑐 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑐 = √[−2 − (−2)]2 + (4 − 1)2
= √0 + (3)2
= √9
𝒄=𝟑

We need the value of 𝒂. So, using 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 ∶

𝑎2 − 42 = 32
𝑎2 − 16 = 9
𝑎2 − 16 + 16 = 9 + 16
𝑎2 = 9 + 16
𝑎2 = 25
√𝑎2 = √25
𝒂=𝟓
(𝒙−𝒉)𝟐 (𝒚−𝒌)𝟐
For the standard equation, use + 𝒂𝟐 = 𝟏 since the foci have different 𝑦 values, and the
𝒃𝟐
center is not at the origin, that is 𝐶(ℎ, 𝑘). Again, we have 𝑪(−𝟐, 𝟏), 𝒂 = 𝟓, and 𝒃 = 𝟒.

2. (a) In ellipse A, we can find the following points:

𝑪(𝟏, 𝟑) ; 𝐹1 (−3, 3) & 𝐹2 (5, 3) ; 𝑉1 (−5, 3) & 𝑉2 (7, 3)

For you to find the value of 𝑏, you must find the value of 𝑐 first since foci are given. The distance from
center to one focus is 𝒄. Let’s say, from 𝐶(1, 3) to 𝐹1 (−3, 3) then use distance formula.

NDDU-IBED-F-081
 𝑐 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑐 = √(−3 − 1)2 + (3 − 3)2
= √(−4)2 + 0
= 16
𝒄=𝟒

The distance from center to one vertex is 𝒂. Let’s say from 𝐶(1,3) and 𝑉2 (7,3):

𝑐 = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
𝑎 = √(7 − 1)2 + (3 − 3)2
= √(6)2 + 0
= √36
𝒂=𝟔

To find 𝑏, we will use 𝑎2 − 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 ∶

62 − 𝑏 2 = 42
36 − 𝑏 2 = 16
−𝑏 2 = 16 − 36
(−1)(−𝑏 2 ) = (−20)(−1)
𝒃𝟐 = 𝟐𝟎
√𝑏 2 = √20
𝟐√𝟓 = 𝒃

(𝒙−𝒉)𝟐 (𝒚−𝒌)𝟐
For the standard equation of ellipse, since the graph is horizontal, use + = 𝟏. Again, we
𝒂𝟐 𝒃𝟐
have 𝑪(𝟏, 𝟑), 𝒂 = 𝟔, and 𝒃 = 𝟐√𝟓.
