If the normal at an end of a latus rectum of an ellipse passes through an extremity of the minor axis, then the eccentricity e of the ellipse satisfies:
If the normal at an end of a latus rectum of an ellipse passes through an extremity of the minor axis, then the eccentricity e of the ellipse satisfies:
Equation of normal to the ellipse x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 at (x? , y? ) is a²x/x? - b²y/y? = a² - b².
At the point (ae, b²/a):
a²x/ (ae) - b²y/ (b²/a) = a² - b²
It passes through (0, -b).
a² (0)/ (ae) - b² (-b)/ (b²/a) = a² - b²
ab = a² - b²
Since b² = a² (1-e²), a²-b² = a²e².
ab = a²e²
a²b² = a? e?
a² (a² (1-e²)
