10.3 ELLIPSES Write equations of ellipses in standard form and graph ellipses. Use properties of ellipses to model and solve real-life problems. Find eccentricities of ellipses. What You Should Learn

2 Introduction The second type of conic is called an ellipse, and is defined as follows. d 1 + d 2 is constant.

3 Introduction We can visualize the definition of an ellipse by imagining two thumbtacks placed at the foci. If the ends of a fixed length of string are fastened to the thumbtacks and the string is drawn taut with a pencil, the path traced by the pencil will be an ellipse.

4 Introduction The line through the foci intersects the ellipse at two points called vertices. The chord joining the vertices is the major axis, and its midpoint is the center of the ellipse. The chord perpendicular to the major axis at the center is the minor axis of the ellipse.

5 Introduction

6 Example 1 – Finding the Standard Equation of an Ellipse Find the standard form of the equation of the ellipse having foci at (0, 1) and (4, 1) and a major axis of length 6.

7 Sketch the ellipse given by Example 2 – Sketching an Ellipse

8 Example 3 – Analyzing an Ellipse Find the center, vertices, and foci of the given ellipse

9 Example 3 – Technology Graph with your calculator…

10 Eccentricity One of the reasons it was difficult for early astronomers to detect that the orbits of the planets are ellipses is that the foci of the planetary orbits are relatively close to their centers, and so the orbits are nearly circular. To measure the ovalness of an ellipse, you can use the concept of eccentricity. Note that 0 < e < 1 for every ellipse.

11 Eccentricity To see how this ratio is used to describe the shape of an ellipse, note that because the foci of an ellipse are located along the major axis between the vertices and the center, it follows that 0 < c < a. For an ellipse that is nearly circular, the foci are close to the center and the ratio c/a is small, as shown in Figure Figure 10.28

12 Eccentricity On the other hand, for an elongated ellipse, the foci are close to the vertices and the ratio c/a is close to 1, as shown in Figure Figure 10.29

13 Eccentricity The orbit of the moon has an eccentricity of e  , and the eccentricities of the eight planetary orbits are as follows. Mercury: e  Jupiter: e  Venus: e  Saturn: e  Earth: e  Uranus: e  Mars: e  Neptune: e 
