- The ellipse \(E\) has equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + 9 y ^ { 2 } = 9$$
The foci of \(E\) are \(F _ { 1 }\) and \(F _ { 2 }\)
- Determine the coordinates of \(F _ { 1 }\) and the coordinates of \(F _ { 2 }\)
- Write down the equation of each of the directrices of \(E\)
The point \(P\) lies on the ellipse.
- Show that \(\left| P F _ { 1 } \right| + \left| P F _ { 2 } \right| = 6\)
The straight line through \(P\) with equation \(y = 2 x + c\) meets \(E\) again at the point \(Q\) The point \(M\) is the midpoint of \(P Q\)
- Show that as \(P\) varies the locus of \(M\) is a straight line passing through the origin.
