in the ellipse x2/30 + y2/24 = 1 find the point which is 5 uniits distanced from the minor axis.
***
This is an ellipse with horizontal major axis.
Minor axis is on the y-axis.
At 5 units from the minor axis, x=5 or x=-5
solving for y:

LCD:30*24=720

600+30y^2=720
30y^2=120
y^2=4
y=�√4=�2
Points which are 5 units distanced from the minor axis: (5,2),(5,-2),(-5,2),(-5,-2)
