The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the ellipse with the given parameters, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the standard form of the ellipse The standard form of the equation of an ellipse with its center at the origin and the major axis along the x-axis 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. ### Step 2: Use the eccentricity to find the relationship between \( a \) and \( b \) The eccentricity \( e \) of the ellipse is related to \( a \) and \( b \) by the formula: \[ e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}} \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ e^2 = 1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2} \] Rearranging this, we find: \[ \frac{b^2}{a^2} = 1 - e^2 \] Thus, \[ b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2) \] ### Step 3: Substitute the given eccentricity Given that \( e = \frac{3}{4} \): \[ e^2 = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{16} \] Then, \[ 1 - e^2 = 1 - \frac{9}{16} = \frac{7}{16} \] Thus, \[ b^2 = a^2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} \] ### Step 4: Use the latus rectum to find another relationship The length of the latus rectum \( L \) of an ellipse is given by: \[ L = \frac{2b^2}{a} \] We are given \( L = 4 \): \[ 4 = \frac{2b^2}{a} \] Substituting \( b^2 = a^2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} \): \[ 4 = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} a^2}{a} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 = \frac{14a}{16} = \frac{7a}{8} \] Multiplying both sides by 8: \[ 32 = 7a \] Thus, \[ a = \frac{32}{7} \] ### Step 5: Find \( b^2 \) Now substituting \( a \) back to find \( b^2 \): \[ b^2 = a^2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} = \left(\frac{32}{7}\right)^2 \cdot \frac{7}{16} \] Calculating \( a^2 \): \[ a^2 = \frac{1024}{49} \] Now substituting: \[ b^2 = \frac{1024}{49} \cdot \frac{7}{16} = \frac{1024 \cdot 7}{49 \cdot 16} \] Calculating \( 49 \cdot 16 = 784 \): \[ b^2 = \frac{7168}{784} = \frac{896}{98} = \frac{448}{49} \] ### Step 6: Write the equation of the ellipse Now substituting \( a^2 \) and \( b^2 \) into the standard form: \[ \frac{x^2}{\frac{1024}{49}} + \frac{y^2}{\frac{448}{49}} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{49x^2}{1024} + \frac{49y^2}{448} = 1 \] Multiplying through by 1024 gives: \[ 49x^2 + \frac{49 \cdot 1024}{448}y^2 = 1024 \] Thus, the final equation is: \[ \frac{x^2}{\frac{1024}{49}} + \frac{y^2}{\frac{448}{49}} = 1 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the ellipse is: \[ \frac{x^2}{1024} + \frac{y^2}{448} = 1 \]
