Co-ordinate of extremities of major axis
$begingroup$
Ellipse has a focus (3,4), a directrix x+y−1=0 and an eccentricity of 1/2.
Using this information I find the equation of ellipse, but I can't find the co-ordinate of the extremities of major axis. Plz Help me.

Welcome to the website. You will find that simple "here is my question" posts that do not include any effort to solve the problem are generally ill-received. Would you mind sharing how you have tried to go about the solution, such as including the equation of the ellipse you found?

The line perpendicular to the directrix and passing through the focus, intersects the ellipse at the points you are looking for.
