SECTION 9- Ellipse Definition of an Ellipse Drawing an Ellipse Standard Equations and Their Graphs Applications We start our discussion of the ellipse with a coordinate-free definition. Using this definition, we show how an ellipse can be drawn and we derive standard equations for ellipses speciall located in a rectangular coordinate sstem. Definition of an Ellipse The following is a coordinate-free definition of an ellipse: DEINITION 1 Ellipse An ellipse is the set of all points P in a plane such that the sum of the distances of P from two fied points in the plane is constant. Each of the fied points, and, is called a focus, and together the are called foci. Referring to the figure, the line segment VV through the foci is the major ais. The perpendicular bisector BB of the major ais is the minor ais. Each end of the major ais,
2 9- Ellipse 617 V and V, is called a verte. The midpoint of the line segment is called the center of the ellipse. V d 1 d Constant B d 1 P d B V Drawing an Ellipse An ellipse is eas to draw. All ou need is a piece of string, two thumbtacks, and a pencil or pen (see ig. 1). Place the two thumbtacks in a piece of cardboard. These form the foci of the ellipse. Take a piece of string longer than the distance between the two thumbtacks this represents the constant in the definition and tie each end to a thumbtack. inall, catch the tip of a pencil under the string and move it while keeping the string taut. The resulting figure is b definition an ellipse. Ellipses of different shapes result, depending on the placement of thumbtacks and the length of the string joining them. IGURE 1 Drawing an ellipse. Note that d 1 d alwas adds up to the length of the string, which does not change. P d 1 d ocus String ocus Standard Equations and Their Graphs Using the definition of an ellipse and the distance-between-two-points formula, we can derive standard equations for an ellipse located in a rectangular coordinate sstem. We start b placing an ellipse in the coordinate sstem with the foci on the ais equidistant from the origin at (c, 0) and (c, 0), as in igure. IGURE Ellipse with foci on ais.

3 618 9 Additional Topics in Analtic Geometr or reasons that will become clear soon, it is convenient to represent the constant sum d 1 d b a, a 0. Also, the geometric fact that the sum of the lengths of an two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side can be applied to igure to derive the following useful result: d(, P) d(p, ) d(, ) d 1 d c a c a c (1) We will use this result in the derivation of the equation of an ellipse, which we now begin. Referring to igure, the point P(, ) is on the ellipse if and onl if d 1 d a d(p, ) d(p, ) a ( c) ( 0) ( c) ( 0) a After eliminating radicals and simplifing, a good eercise for ou, we obtain (a c ) a a (a c ) a a c 1 () (3) Dividing both sides of equation () b a (a c ) is permitted, since neither a nor a c is 0. rom equation (1), a c; thus a c and a c 0. The constant a was chosen positive at the beginning. To simplif equation (3) further, we let to obtain b a c b 0 (4) a b 1 (5) rom equation (5) we see that the intercepts are a and the intercepts are b. The intercepts are also the vertices. Thus, Major ais length a Minor ais length b To see that the major ais is longer than the minor ais, we show that a b. Returning to equation (4), b a c a, b, c 0 b c a
4 9- Ellipse 619 b a Definition of b a 0 (b a)(b a) 0 b a 0 Since b a is positive, b a must be negative. b a b a a b Length of major ais Length of minor ais If we start with the foci on the ais at (0, c) and (0, c) as in igure 3, instead of on the ais as in igure, then, following arguments similar to those used for the first derivation, we obtain b a 1 a b (6) where the relationship among a, b, and c remains the same as before: b a c (7) The center is still at the origin, but the major ais is now along the ais and the minor ais is along the ais. IGURE 3 Ellipse with foci on ais. (0, c) d 1 P(, ) 0 d (0, c) d 1 d Constant c 0 To sketch graphs of equations of the form (5) or (6) is an eas matter. We find the and intercepts and sketch in an appropriate ellipse. Since replacing with, or with produces an equivalent equation, we conclude that the graphs are smmetric with respect to the ais, ais, and origin. If further accurac is required, additional points can be found with the aid of a calculator and the use of smmetr properties. Given an equation of the form (5) or (6), how can we find the coordinates of the foci without memorizing or looking up the relation b a c? There is a simple geometric relationship in an ellipse that enables us to get the same result using the Pthagorean theorem. To see this relationship, refer to igure 4(a). Then, using the
5 60 9 Additional Topics in Analtic Geometr definition of an ellipse and a for the constant sum, as we did in deriving the standard equations, we see that Thus: d d a d a d a The length of the line segment from the end of a minor ais to a focus is the same as half the length of a major ais. This geometric relationship is illustrated in igure 4(b). Using the Pthagorean theorem for the triangle in igure 4(b), we have or b c a b a c Equations (4) and (7) or c a b Useful for finding the foci, given a and b Thus, we can find the foci of an ellipse given the intercepts a and b simpl b using the triangle in igure 4(b) and the Pthagorean theorem.

Elliptical gears Elliptical dome Johannes Kepler ( ), a German astronomer, discovered that planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at a focus, and not in circular orbits as had been thought before [ig. 9(a)]. igure 9(b) shows a pair of elliptical gears with pivot points at foci. Such gears transfer constant rotational speed to variable rotational speed, and
10 9- Ellipse 65 vice versa. igure 9(c) shows an elliptical dome. An interesting propert of such a dome is that a sound or light source at one focus will reflect off the dome and pass through the other focus. One of the chambers in the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., has such a dome, and is referred to as a whispering room because a whispered sound at one focus can be easil heard at the other focus.
