10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The position of the point $(1, 3)$ with respect to the ellipse $4{x^2} + 9{y^2} - 16x - 54y + 61 = 0$
A
Outside the ellipse
B
On the ellipse
C
On the major axis
D
On the minor axis
Solution
(c) $E \equiv 4 + 9{(3)^2} – 16(1) – 54(3) + 61 < 0$
Therefore, the point is inside the ellipse.
$\frac{{4{{(x – 2)}^2}}}{{36}} + \frac{{9{{(y – 3)}^2}}}{{36}} = 1$
Equation of major axis is $y – 3 = 0$ and point $(1, 3)$ lies on it.
