Elipse

An ellipse is a flat, simple and closed curve with two axes of


symmetry that results from cutting the surface of a cone by
a plane oblique to the axis of symmetry with an angle
greater than that of the generatrix with respect to the axis
of revolution. One An ellipse rotating around its minor axis
generates an oblate spheroid, while an ellipse rotating
around its major axis generates an elongated spheroid. The
ellipse is also the afane image of a circl
 Foci of an ellipse
The foci of the ellipse are two points equidistant from the center,
F1 and F2 on the long axis. The sum of the distances from any point
P on the ellipse to the two foci is constant, and equal to the length
of the largest diameter (d (P, F1)+d(P,F2)=2a).
For convenience we will denote by PQ the distance between
two points P and Q.
If F1 and F2 are two points on a plane, and 2a is a constant
greater than the distance F1 F2, a point P will belong to the
ellipse if the relationship holds:

PF1 + PF2=2a
 Axes of an ellipse
The major axis, 2a, is the reates distance between two
opposite points on the ellipse. The result of the sum of
the distances from any point to the foci is constant and
is equivalent to the major axis. The minor axis 2b is the
shortest distance between two opposite points of the
ellipse. The axes of the ellipse are perpendicular to
each other.

 Eccentricity of an ellipse
The eccentricity ε (epsilon) of an ellipse is the ratio
between its focal semidistance (length of the segment
that starts from the center of the ellipse and ends at
one of its foci), called by the letter c, and its semimajor
axis. Its value is between zero and one.

Eccentricity indicates the shape of an ellipse; An ellipse


will be more rounded the closer its eccentricity is to the
value zero. 5 The traditional designation of eccentricity is
the Greek letter ε called epsilon.
 Angular eccentricity of an ellipse
The figure on the right shows the two radio vectors
corresponding to each point P of an ellipse, the vectors
that go from the foci F1 and F2 to P. The lengths of the
segments corresponding to each one are PF1 (yellow)
and PF2 (red color), and the animation illustrates how
they vary for different points P of the ellipse.

As established by the initial definition of the ellipse as a


geometric locus, for all points P of the ellipse the sum
of the lengths of its two radii vectors is a constant
quantity equal to the length 2a of the major axis:
PF1 + PF2=2ª
In the ellipse in image 2a it is equal to 10 and illustrates, for
a select set of points, how the definition is fulfilled.

 Ellipse Guidelines
Each focus F of the ellipse is associated with a line
parallel to the semi-minor axis called the directrix (see
illustration on the right). The distance from any point P
of the ellipse to the focus F is a constant fraction of the
perpendicular distance from that point P to the
directrix which results in the equality
The relationship between these two distances is the
eccentricity
\varepsilon of the ellipse. This property (which can be
tested with the Dandelin spheres tool) can be taken as
another alternative definition of the ellipse.

 Ellipse graphic elements

1. The principal diameters or principal axes are the


maximum and minimum diameters of the ellipse,
perpendicular to each other and passing through
the center. Traditionally they are named A-B for
the major and D-C for the minor, although other
nomenclatures are also used, such as A-A' for the
major and B-B' for the minor.
2. The center of the ellipse is usually named O
(origin). On the circumference the foci coincide
with the center.
3. The foci are usually named with the letter F
accompanied by some means of differentiating
them, F1 - F2, or F′ - F″.
4. The largest diameter of the ellipse is usually
designated 2a, being
5. the semimajor axis. The semi-minor axis is called
b and the minor diameter is called 2b. The
distance of each focus from the center is called c
6. The segments that go from each focus to a point
on the ellipse are called radii vectors; The sum of
the radii vectors of each point is a ch1.
Constant equal to 2a.
