Eccentric Angle and Auxiliary Circle of an Ellipse

Here we will discuss the terms related to an eccentric angle and auxiliary circle of an ellipse. In simple words, when there is an interaction of the cone at the point angle while considering its base, it is known as an ellipse. A particular type of circle is the ellipse. Whereas, when we see the prolongation of the ellipse, it is known as the ellipse’s eccentricity. Mainly, the range of abnormality lies from 0 to 1. It is the same as parabolas and hyperbolas. The directrix of an eccentric angle and auxiliary circle of an ellipse represents the transverse distance with the focus. 

Eccentric angle & auxiliary circle of an ellipse

When we see the auxiliary circles, it is the main circle specified by the diameter with the major axis. The equation of an ellipse is determined by the x2/a2 with the addition of y2/b2. These both terms are always equal to the 1 i.e. x2/a2 +  y2/b2 = 1. The eccentricity always ranges from points 0 and 1. And the main angle of the eccentricity is determined by the symbol θ.

Characteristic of eccentric angle and auxiliary circle of an ellipse

  • Erraticism e = √1 – (b2/a2)

  • The Foci S is always equal to the (ae, 0), and S’ is equal to the (- ae, 0).

  • When we see the equations of directrices, then it is seen by the variables, i.e., x = a/e and – a/e.

  • The principal pivot is characterised as the major and minor hub of the circle.

  • The vertex points are the convergence points of a circle with a significant pivot. (A, 0) & A’ = (- a, 0)

  • Focal harmony is the harmony that goes through the harmony, whereas the double ordinate is the opposite of the significant pivot.

  • Lat’us rectum is the central harmony that is seen opposite to the significant pivot.

Auxiliary circle of an ellipse

The chief circle is the locus of the place of the crossing point of sets. And it is opposite digressions to an oval.

Two opposite digressions of circle  x2/a2 +  y2/b2 are always equal to 1 are

Whereas, y – mx = √(a2m2+b2

And, my + x = √(a2+b2 m2

To acquire the locus of the mark of convergence y – mx = √(a2m2+b2) and my + x = √(a2+b2 m2)

 we need to kill m figuring out and adding y – mx = √(a2m2+b2) and my + x = √(a2+b2 m2), we get

(y – mx)2 + (my + x)2 = (a2m2+b2) + (a2+b2 m2)

⇒ x2 + y2 = a2 + b2, which is the condition of the chief circle.

Question: Observe the condition of the bend whose parametric condition are x = 1 + 4 cos θ, y = 2 + 3 sin θ, θ ϵR.

Solution

It is given that x = 1 + 4 cos θ,

Whereas, y = 2 + 3 sin θ

And x related terms are

x = 1 + 4 cos θ

x – 1 = 4 cos θ

(x – 1)/4 = cos θ

When we do square on the two sides, then the result is:

(x – 1)²/16 = cos² θ … (1)

y = 2 + 3 sin θ

y – 2 = 3 sin θ

(y – 2)/3 = sin θ

We are again doing the squaring on the two sides.

(y – 2)²/9 = sin² θ…(2)

The condition is that (1) + (2)

(x – 1)²/16 + (y – 2)²/9 = cos² θ + sin² θ

(x – 1)²/16 + (y – 2)²/9 = 1

And that is considered an ellipse.

Conclusion

We see that the eccentric angle and auxiliary circle of an ellipse are similar to the parabola & hyperbola. The eccentric angle and auxiliary circle of an ellipse’s main feature, known as the latus rectum, is the central harmony that is seen opposite the significant pivot. And the Foci S is always equal to the (ae, 0) and S’ is equal to the (- ae, 0). The equation of an ellipse is determined by the x2/a2 with the addition of y2/b2. These both terms are always equal to the 1 i.e. x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1. The eccentricity always ranges from points 0 and 1.
