Find the equation of the ellipse referred to its axes as the axes of co-ordinates :
(i) whose major axis = 6 and minor axis = 4
(ii) Which passes through the point (-3, 1) and has eccentricity = `sqrt((2)/(5))`
(iii) whose foci are (2,0) , (-2,0) and latus -rectum is 6.

The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the ellipses as per the given conditions, we will solve each part step by step. ### Part (i) **Given:** - Major axis = 6 - Minor axis = 4 **Solution:** 1. The lengths of the major and minor axes are given as 2a and 2b respectively. - Therefore, \( 2a = 6 \) implies \( a = 3 \). - And \( 2b = 4 \) implies \( b = 2 \). 2. The standard equation of an ellipse with a horizontal major axis is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] 3. Substituting the values of \( a \) and \( b \): \[ \frac{x^2}{3^2} + \frac{y^2}{2^2} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \] 4. To express it in a different form, multiply through by 36 (the least common multiple of the denominators): \[ 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36 \] **Final Equation:** \[ 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36 \]
