Definitions
It is a locus of a point which moves in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point (called
focus) and a fixed line (called directrix) is constant which is less than one. The constant ratio is called
eccentricity (e).

Major Axis : The line segment AA in which the focii S and S lie (of length 2a) is called the major axis
of the ellipse. Point of intersection of major axis with directrix is called the foot of the directrix (z and z ).
Minor Axis : The y-axis intersects the ellipse in the points B (0, b ) and B (0, b ) . The line segment B B is
of length 2b is called the minor axis of the ellipse.
Principal Axis : The major and minor axes together are called principal axis of the ellipse.
Vertices : Point of intersection of ellipse with major axis A (a, 0) and A (a, 0) are called vertices.
Focal Chord : A chord which passes through a focus is called a focal chord.
Double Ordinate : A chord perpendicular to the major axis is called a double ordinate.
Latus Rectum : The focal chord perpendicular to the major axis is called the latus rectum.

Let Q be a point on the auxiliary circle x2 + y2 = a2 such that line through Q perpendicular to the x-axis on
the way intersects the ellipse at P, then P and Q are called as the Corresponding Points on the ellipse and
the auxiliary circle respectively. ( < ) is called the Eccentric Angle of the point P on the ellipse
The coordinate of P() and Q() are given by (a cos , b sin ) and (a cos , a sin ) respectively. Also
x2 y 2
If b > a is given, then the y-axis will become major axis and x-axis will become the minor axis
and all other points and lines will change accordingly.

Diameter :
The locus of the middle points of a system of parallel chords is called a diameter and the point where the
diameter intersects the ellipse is called the vertex of the diameter. Two diameters are said to be conjugate
when each bisects all chords parallel to the other.
Properties of Conjugate Diameter
Prop.1 : The eccentric angles of the ends of a pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse differ by a right
angle.
Prop. 2 : The sum of the squares of any two conjugate semi diameters of an ellipse is constant and equal to
the sum of the squares of the semi-axes of the ellipse i.e., CP2 + CD2 = a2 + b2.
Prop. 3 : The product of the focal distances of a point on an ellipse is equal to the square of the semi
diameter which is conjugate to the diameter through the point.
Prop. 4 : The tangents at the extremities of a pair of conjugate diameters from a parallelogram whose area
is constant and equal to product of the axes.

The tangent and normal at a point P on the ellipse bisect the external and internal angles between the focal
distance of P. This refers to the well known reflection property of the ellipse which states that rays from one
focus are reflected through other focus and vice-versa. Hence we can deduce that the straight lines joining
each focus to the foot of the perpendicular from the other focus upon the tangents at any point P meet on the
normal PG and bisects it where G is the point where normal at P meets the major axis.
The product of the lengths of the perpendicular segment from the foci on any tangent to the ellipse is b2 and
the feet of these perpendiculars lie on its auxiliary circle and the tangents at these feet to the auxiliary circle
meet on the ordinates of P and that their point of intersection is a similar ellipse as that of the original one.
