Ellipse

The document discusses ellipses, their properties, and equations. It defines an ellipse as an oval shape that is the locus of points where the sum of the distances from two focal points is constant. The major axis runs through the two foci, and the minor axis is perpendicular to the major axis at the center. Ellipses have two foci and standard equations involving the distances from the foci along the major and minor axes. Examples are provided to demonstrate ellipses and their equations.

Introduction:

(1st slide)Hi I’m (name),(grade),(section) and Today I’m going to demonstrate the topic ellipse, its
equation and examples

(2nd slide) These pictures show a real life objects of ellipse. (Show picture)

(3rd slide) Ellipse is an integral part of the conic section and is similar in properties to a circle. Unlike the
circle, an ellipse is oval in shape. An ellipse has an eccentricity less than one, and it represents the locus
of points, the sum of whose distances from the two foci of the ellipse is a constant value. We are going
to learn more of this terms as we continue.

(4th slide)These are the different parts of ellipse. (Show a picture of ellipse)

(4th slide) The line passing through the two foci and the center of the ellipse is called the transverse axis.
The line passing through the center of the ellipse and perpendicular to the transverse axis is called the
conjugate axis

(5th slide) The foci always lie on the major (longest) axis, spaced equally each side of the center. The
ellipse has two foci and their coordinates are F(c, o), and F'(-c, 0). The distance between the foci is equal
to 2c.

(6th slide) The midpoint of the line joining the two foci is called the center of the ellipse.

(7th slide)The major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center
and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter. The length of the
major axis of the ellipse is 2a units, and the end vertices of this major axis is (a, 0), (-a, 0) respectively.

(8thslide)The shorter axis is called the minor axis. Each endpoint of the minor axis is a co-vertex of the
ellipse. The length of the minor axis of the ellipse is 2b units and the end vertices of the minor axis is (0,
b), and (0, -b) respectively.

(9th slide) The latus rectum is a line drawn perpendicular to the transverse axis of the ellipse and is
passing through the foci of the ellipse. The length of the latus rectum of the ellipse is 2b^2/a.

(10th slide) Each of the two lines parallel to the minor axis, and at a distance of. from it, is called a
directrix of the ellipse. All conic sections have an eccentricity value, denoted 𝓮. All ellipses have
eccentricities in the range 0≤e<1. An eccentricity of zero is the special case where the ellipse becomes a
circle. An eccentricity of 1 is a parabola, not an ellipse.

(11th slide) There are two standard equations of the ellipse. (Show a picture of two ellipses). These
equations are based on the transverse axis and the conjugate axis of each of the ellipse. (explain the
picture in this slide)

(12th slide) The standard equation of the ellipse are: ¿ ¿  has the transverse axis as the x-axis and
the conjugate axis as the y-axis.
th (x−h)2 ( y−k )2
(13 slide) Further, another standard equation of the ellipse is  + =1  and it has
b2 a2
the transverse axis as the y-axis and its conjugate axis as the x-axis.
(14th-17th slide) Examples
