### Plus One Maths Conic Sections Three Mark Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Find the coordinate of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse. (3 score each)

1. $$\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{25}$$ = 1
2. $$\frac{x^{2}}{16}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}$$ = 1

1. Since 25 > 4 the standard equation of the ellipse is $$\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}$$ = 1 ⇒ a2 = 25; b2 = 4
c2 = a2 – b2 = 25 – 4 = 21 ⇒ c = $$\sqrt{21}$$
Coordinate of foci are (0, ±$$\sqrt{21}$$)
Coordinate of vertex are (0, ±5)
Length of major axis = 2a = 2 × 5 = 10
Length of minor axis = 2b = 2 × 2 = 4
Eccentricity = e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{21}}{5}$$
Length of latus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 4}{5}=\frac{8}{5}$$.

2. Since 16 > 9 the standard equation of the ellipse is $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1 ⇒ a2 = 16; b2 = 9
c2 = a2 – b2 = 16 – 9 = 7 ⇒ c = $$\sqrt{7}$$
Coordinate of foci are (±$$\sqrt{7}$$, 0)
Coordinate of vertex are (±4, 0)
Length of major axis = 2a = 2 × 4 = 8
Length of minor axis = 2b = 2 × 3 = 6
Eccentricity = e = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}$$
Length of latus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 9}{4}=\frac{9}{2}$$.

Question 2.
Find the ellipse satisfying the following conditions: (3 score each)

1. Vertex (±5, 0); foci (±4, 0)
2. Ends of the major axis (±3, 0), ends of minor axis (0, ±2)
3. Length of the major axis 26, foci (±5, 0)
4. b = 3, c = 4, centre at origin; foci on the x-axis

1. Foci (±4, 0) lie on the x-axis. So the equation of the ellipse is of the form $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1
Given; Vertex (±5, 0) ⇒ a = 5
Given; Foci(±4, 0) Foci ⇒ c = 4 = $$\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}$$
⇒ 4 = $$\sqrt{25-b^{2}}$$ ⇒ 16 = 25 – b2 ⇒ b2 = 9
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is
$$\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$$.

2. The ends of major axis lie on the x-axis. So the equation of the ellipse is of the form
$$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1
Given; Ends of the major
axis (±3, 0) ⇒ a = 3, ends of minor axis
(0, ±2) ⇒ b = 2
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is
$$\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}=1$$.

3. Since foci (±5, 0) lie on x-axis, the standard form of ellipse is $$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1
Given; 2a = 26 ⇒ a = 13
Given; c = 5 = $$\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}$$
⇒ 25 = 169 – b2 ⇒ b2 = 144
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is
$$\frac{x^{2}}{169}+\frac{y^{2}}{144}=1$$.

4. The standard form of ellipse is
$$\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}$$ = 1
Given; c = 4 = $$\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}$$
⇒ 16 = a2 – 9 ⇒ a2 =25
Therefore the equation of the ellipse is
$$\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$$.

Question 3.

2. 5y2 – 9x2 = 36

1. The equation of the hyperbola is of the form
$$\frac{y^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{x^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$$ ⇒ a2 = 9; b2 = 27
⇒ c2 = a2 + b2 ⇒ c2 = 9 + 27 = 36 ⇒ c = 6
Coordinate of foci are (0, ±6)
Coordinate of vertices are (0, ±a) ⇒ (0, ±3)
Eccentricity = $$\frac{c}{a}=\frac{6}{3}=2$$
Length of latus rectum = $$\frac{2 b^{2}}{a}=\frac{2 \times 27}{3}=18$$.

Question 1.
Find the equation of the circle passing through the points (4, 1) and (6, 5) and whose centre is on the line 4x + y = 16.
Let the equation of the circle be
x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 ______(1)
Since (1) passes through (4, 1)
16 + 1 + 8g + 2f + c = 0
⇒ 8g + 2f + c = -17 ______(2)
Since (1) passes through (6, 5)
36 + 25 + 12g + 10f + c = 0
⇒ 12 g + 10f + c = -61 _______(3)
(1) – (2) ⇒ -4g – 8f = 16
⇒ -g – 2f = 4 ______(4)
Since centre is on the line 4x + y = 16, we have;
⇒ -4g – f = 16 ______(5)
Solving (4) and (5) We get; g = -3; f = -4
(2) ⇒ 8(-3) + 2(-4) + c = -17
⇒ -24 – 8 + c = -17 ⇒ c = 15
Then the equation of the circle is
x2 + y2 – 6x – 8y + 15 = 0.

Question 2.
Find the equation of the circle with radius 5 whose centre lies on x-axis and passes through the point (2, 3).
Let the equation of the circle be
(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2
centre lies on x axis so let the centre be (h, 0),
then (x – h)2 + y2 = 25
Since circle pass through (2, 3) we have;
(2 – h)2 + 32 = 25
⇒ (2 – h)2 = 16 ⇒ 2 – h = ±4
⇒ h = 6, -2
When h = 6 ; equation of circle is
(x – 6)2 + (y – 0)2 = 25
⇒ x2 + 36 – 12x + y2 = 25
⇒ x2 + y2 – 12x + 11 = 0
When h = -2; equation of circle is
(x + 2)2 + (y – 0)2 = 25
⇒ x2 + 4 + 4x + y2 = 25
⇒ x2 + y2 + 4x – 21 = 0.

Since the ellipse passes through (1, 6)

Solving (1) and (2), we have Since the ellipse passes through (3, 2)
a2 = 40; b2 = 10
Thus the equation of the ellipse is

1. Since the focus (6, 0) lies on the x-axis, therefore x-axis is the axis of parabola.
Also the directrix is x = – 6, ie; x = – a And focus (6, 0), ie; (a, 0)
Therefore the equation of the parabola is
y2 = 4ax ⇒ y2 = 24x.

2. The vertex of the parabola is at (0, 0) and focus is at (3, 0). Then axis of parabola is along x-axis. So the parabola is of the form y2 = 4ax . The equation of the parabola is y2 = 12x.

3. The vertex of the parabola is at (0, 0) and the axis is along x-axis. So the equation of parabola is of the torn y2 = 4ax .
Since the parabola passes through point (2, 3)
Therefore, 32 = 4a × 2 ⇒ a = $$\frac{9}{8}$$
The required equation of the parabola is
y2 = 4 × $$\frac{9}{8}$$ x ⇒ y2 = $$\frac{9}{2}$$x.
