10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy

The equation of the ellipse whose latus rectum is $8$ and whose eccentricity is $\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$, referred to the principal axes of coordinates, is

A

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{18}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$

B

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{8} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{9} = 1$

C

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$

D

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{24}} = 1$

Solution

(c) $\frac{{2{b^2}}}{a} = 8,$$e = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$

${a^2} = 64,\,{b^2} = 32$

Hence required equation of ellipse is

$\frac{{{x^2}}}{{64}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{32}} = 1$.
