Detailed Solution

Let P(x, y) be any point on the locus.
Given that the sum of distance from P.
to A(0, 2), B(0, –2) is 6.
 i.e., PA+PB=6PA=6PB
S.O.B.S
PA2=36+PB212(PB)PA236PB2=12(PB)(x0)2+(y2)236(x0)2+(y+2)2 =12(PB)x2+y2+44y36x2y244y=12(PB)8y36=12(PB)2y+9=3(PB)
Again, S.O.B.S
4y2+81+36y=9(PB)24y2+81+36y=9(x0)2+(y+2)24y2+81+36y=9x2+y2+4+4y4y2+81+36y=9x2+9y2+36+36y9x2+9y2+364y281=09x2+5y245=0x25+y29=1
 The required equation of locus is x25+y29=1
