Question:

The parametric form of the ellipse $4\left(x+1\right)^{2}+\left(y-1\right)^{2}=4$ is

Updated On: Jun 7, 2024
  • $x=\cos \theta-1, y=2 \,\sin \theta-1$
  • $x=2 \cos \theta-1, y=\sin \theta+1$
  • $x=\cos \theta-1, y=2 \sin \theta+1$
  • $x=\cos \theta+1, y=2 \sin \theta+1$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Given equation of ellipse can be rewritten as
$\frac{(x+1)^{2}}{1}+\frac{(y-1)^{2}}{4}=1$
$\therefore$ Parametric equations of ellipse is
$X+1=\cos \,\theta$
and $y-1 =2 \sin \,\theta$
$\Rightarrow x =\cos \,\theta-1 $
and $y=2 \sin \,\theta+1$

Ellipse Shape

An ellipse is a locus of a point that moves in such a way that its distance from a fixed point (focus) to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line (directrix) is constant. i.e. eccentricity(e) which is less than unity

Properties 

  • Ellipse has two focal points, also called foci.
  • The fixed distance is called a directrix.
  • The eccentricity of the ellipse lies between 0 to 1. 0≤e<1
  • The total sum of each distance from the locus of an ellipse to the two focal points is constant
  • Ellipse has one major axis and one minor axis and a center

Eccentricity of the Ellipse

The ratio of distances from the center of the ellipse from either focus to the semi-major axis of the ellipse is defined as the eccentricity of the ellipse.

The eccentricity of ellipse, e = c/a

Where c is the focal length and a is length of the semi-major axis.

Since c ≤ a the eccentricity is always greater than 1 in the case of an ellipse.
Also,
c2 = a2 – b2
Therefore, eccentricity becomes:
e = √(a2 – b2)/a
e = √[(a2 – b2)/a2] e = √[1-(b2/a2)]

Area of an ellipse

The area of an ellipse = πab, where a is the semi major axis and b is the semi minor axis.

Position of point related to Ellipse

Let the point p(x1, y1) and ellipse

(x2 / a2) + (y2 / b2) = 1

If [(x12 / a2)+ (y12 / b2) − 1)]

= 0 {on the curve}

<0{inside the curve}

>0 {outside the curve}
