Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3.$

With the origin as a focus and $x = 4$ as the corresponding directrix, a family of ellipses is drawn. Then the locus of an end of the minor axis is

The length of the latus rectum of an ellipse is $6$ units and the distance between a focus and its nearest vertex on the major axis is $\frac{5}{3}$ units. If $e$ is the eccentricity of this ellipse,then $e$ satisfies the equation:
