Ellipse: Equations and Properties by Er. Narender Singh is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1. The standard equation of an ellipse referred to its principal axes is x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1, where a > b and b^2 = a^2(1 - e^2). The foci of an ellipse are located at (ae, 0) and (-ae, 0). 2. A chord of an ellipse that passes through the center is called a diameter. A chord that passes through a focus is called a focal chord. A chord perpendicular to the major axis is called a double ordinate. 3. The latus rectum is the focal chord perpendicular to the major axis. Its length is 2a(1-e^2
