Solution:
Given equation of ellipse is
+
= 1
Clearly, 49 > 36
The equation of ellipse in standard form is
+
= 1
∴a 2 = 49 ⇒ a = 7 and b 2 = 36 ⇒ b = 6
We know that c =√ a 2 − c 2 , c = √ 49 − 36 = √ 13
∴ Coordinates of foci are (±c, 0) i.e. (±√ 13 , 0)
Coordinates of vertices are (±a, 0) i.e. (±7, 0).
Length of major axis = 2a = 2 × 7 = 14
Length of minor axis = 2b = 2 × 6 = 12
Eccentricity (e) =
=
Length of latus rectum =
=
