Answer to Problem 22E
The equation of the ellipse is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given that the vertices are (3, 1), (3, 11) and minor axis length is 2
The standard equation of an ellipse having center at (h, k) with major axis horizontal is given by
Finding the value of h and k:
The centre is the midpoint between the vertices
Finding the value of a and b,
And
Substituting the values of
Hence the equation of the ellipse is
