= 36
Solution:
Given equation of ellipse is = 36 i.e., = 1 ⇒ = 1 Clearly, 9 > 4 ⇒ = 9 and = 4 The equation of ellipse in standard form is = 1 ∴ = 9 ⇒ a = 3 and = 4 ⇒ b = 2 We know that c = ⇒ c = = ∴ Coordinates of foci are (±c, 0) i.e. (± , 0) Coordinates of vertices are (±a, 0) i.e. (±3, 0). Length of major axis = 2a = 2 × 3 = 6 Length of minor axis = 2b = 2 × 2 = 4 Eccentricity (e) = = Length of latus rectum = = =
