Problem 203

A point on an ellipse with major axis length 2a and minor axis length 2b has the coordinates $$(a \cos \theta, b \sin \theta)$$, $$0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi$$.

(a) Show that the distance from this point to the focus at (-c, 0) is $$d(\theta)=a+c \cos \theta$$, where $$c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}$$

(b) Use these coordinates to show that the average distance $$\bar{d}$$ from a point on the ellipse to the focus at (-c, 0), with respect to angle $$\theta$$, is a.
