To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the scenario given in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have a focus \( S \) (a point) and a directrix \( Z_m \) (a line). A series of ellipses are described with this focus and directrix. We need to find the locus of the extremities of their minor axes. **Hint**: Identify the definitions of focus and directrix in the context of conic sections. ...
