Vedclass · Answer

$S \equiv(3,1), S^{\prime} \equiv(1,1)$ and $P \equiv(1,3)$

$\Rightarrow P S=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(1-3)^{2}}=2 \sqrt{2}, P S^{\prime}=\sqrt{(1-1)^{2}+(1-3)^{2}}=2$

Using definition of an ellipse $P S+P S^{\prime}=2 a \Rightarrow a=\sqrt{2}+1$

Also $S S^{\prime}=2 a e=2 \Rightarrow e=\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}+1}=\sqrt{2}-1$
