I'm taking summer lessons next year preperations. I started a new topic(lesson) called Conics.
As I know every beginning has a start .
The question ::
Determine the equation of the conic C(F,d,e).Determine the nature of C(F,d,e) and its different elements.
Given:
F(3,1)
Equation of directrix : x-1= >0
Eccentricity :
My work is the following :
I ploted the given focus(3,1) and graphed the directrix x=1,knowing the e = c/a = sqrt(2)/2 --> c =sqrt2 & a =2 .But since 0<e<1 - so this is an Ellips(correct?)
The length of the major axis is 2a = 2(2)=4 ...
The equation is :
IS MY WORK CORRECT ? MISSING SOMETHING? - Thanks in advance-
