Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: $b=3,\,\, c=4,$ centre at the origin; foci on the $x$ axis.
Find the equation for the ellipse that satisfies the given conditions: $b=3,\,\, c=4,$ centre at the origin; foci on the $x$ axis.
It is given that $b=3,\,\, c=4,$ centre at the origin; foci on the $x$ axis.
since the foci are on the $x-$ axis, the major axis is along the $x-$ axis.
Therefore, the equation of the ellipse will be of the form $\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1,$ where a is the semimajor axis.
Accordingly, $b=3, \,\,c=4$
It is known that $a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}$
$\therefore a^{2}=3^{2}+4^{2}=9+16=25$
$\Rightarrow a=5$
Thus, the equation of the ellipse is $\frac{x^{2}}{5^{2}}+\frac{y^{2}}{3^{2}}=1$ or $\frac{x^{2}}{25}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1$
