      same here, this saves a lot of time, tbh,
      why not just memorizing the final outcome
      but this animation is so good
      it makes me start to memorize the algebra computation.

    This video is REALLY well done: the clear explanations, the showing of each step, the color coding, the image with the labels, the animations. I am so grateful to you and to so many others across the internet that share their knowledge. It has made a world of difference for me in my studies. Thank you.

    I have one little question. How do we know that the hypotenuse of the triangle with b and c as the other two sides is equal to a?

    • @mariogutierrez5511
      @mariogutierrez5511 4 года назад +1

      The major axis was shown to be the entire length of the string. Half the major axis is a. Therefore, half the length of the entire string is also a. Remember, the string represents the distance from each foci (represented in this video by green dots) to the point. When the point is drawn at the top, the distance to the point from each foci is equal. Therefore, half of the string extends from each foci to the point. Since half of the string is a, the distance is a.

    Thanks for the video! This makes so much more sense than how the teacher was trying to explain the derivation, and the animations of the steps really help.

    O bijuterie de videoclip, atât de frumos și logic explicat, mai ales că în școală(liceu) nu prea s-a studiat elipsa. Practic e o problemă de loc geometric elipsa, adică punctul de coordonate (x,y), care satisface ecuația (x²/a²) +(y²/b²) = 1, cu "a" și "b" definite astfel încât a²=b²+c². Geometria analitică e foarte frumoasă. Totul din jurul nostru e matematică. Creatorul e un matematician desăvârșit. Succes în continuare. Vă urmăresc ori de câte ori am puțin timp. Sănătate, fericire și succes în continuare.

  • @JorgetePanete
    @JorgetePanete 6 лет назад +2

    i prefer
    x²+y²=r²,
    x²/r²+y²/r²=1,
    substitute the rs for a and b to fit the formula, like, in the area, πr² becomes πab, and you can see it geometrically

    Our teacher had told us that c² = a² - b² which us correct, but she also told us it was a rearrangement of the Pythgorean Theorem and didn't mention that in this case, the hypotenuse is actually a and not c like it usually is. Even in her explanations of it, she kept using the c as the hypotenuse, so it kept confusing me.

    Hello !! First of all thank you for your effort to bring these contents together and visually represent them for us to grasp them intuitively . However i have a question for you !!
    ----> at 2 : 13 the algebraic solution you got seemed to be not working for me. I have tried dozens of algebraic tricks but i could not get it . Perhaps you have made the binomial expansion in a wrong way ?
    --> My version : ( a sqrt ( x + c ) ^2 + y ^2 ) ^2 = ( a ^2 + xc ) ^2
    --> a ^2 x^2 + 2a^2 xc + a^2 c^2 + 2 ( a ( x + c ) y ^2 ) + ( y^2 ) ^ 2 ---- > BINOMIAL EXPANSION . This is the left part of the equation i did not type the right part because this is where i kept looping back to the same point where i ended up checking the validity of my solution
    ---> Your version : a ^2 x ^2 + 2a ^2 xc + a ^2 c ^2 + a^2 y ^2 ---- > You seem to get " a ^2 y ^2 " but i did not get it how you made it
    I would be in debt if you reply back to me. Sincerely, your follower !! :) ..

    • @mathematicsonline
      @mathematicsonline  9 лет назад +6

      +Can Coteli at 2:07 we have a*sqrt((x+c)^2 + y^2) = (a^2 + xc)^2
      when we square both sides we get a^2((x+c)^2 +y^2) = (a^2 +xc)^2
      on the left side we have to distribute a^2 therefore we have a^2(x+c)^2 +a^2y^2
      Hence this is where a^2y^2 comes from.
