To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of an ellipse and the given information. ### Step 1: Define the ellipse The equation of the ellipse with the major axis along the x-axis and centered at the origin is given by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] where \( a \) is the semi-major axis and \( b \) is the semi-minor axis. Given that \( a > b \). ...
