The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the statements regarding the ellipse and the director circle. We will go through each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the given ellipse The equation of the ellipse is given as: \[ 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36 \] ### Step 2: Rewrite the ellipse in standard form To rewrite the equation in standard form, we divide both sides by 36: \[ \frac{4x^2}{36} + \frac{9y^2}{36} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x^2}{9} + \frac{y^2}{4} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Identify the values of \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) From the standard form \(\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1\), we can identify: - \(a^2 = 9\) (thus \(a = 3\)) - \(b^2 = 4\) (thus \(b = 2\)) ### Step 4: Use the formula for the director circle The formula for the equation of the director circle for an ellipse is: \[ x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2 \] Substituting the values of \(a^2\) and \(b^2\): \[ x^2 + y^2 = 9 + 4 = 13 \] ### Step 5: Verify Statement 1 Statement 1 claims that the equation of the director circle is: \[ x^2 + y^2 = 13 \] From our calculations, this is indeed correct. ### Step 6: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 states that the locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents to an ellipse is called the director circle. This is a well-known definition in conic sections. ### Conclusion Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true as we derived the correct equation of the director circle. - Statement 2 is true as it correctly defines the director circle. Thus, the answer to the question is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation of Statement 1. ### Final Answer Both statements are true. ---
