The eccentricity of the ellipse given by the equation 9 x²+16 y²=144 is
Options
- A7 4
- B1 4
- C3 4
- D5 4
Correct answer
A. 7 4
Step-by-step solution
Given equation of an ellipse is array l 9 x ²+16 y ²=144 9 x ² 144 + 16 y ² 144 = 144 144 x ² 16 + y ² 9 =1 array array l Here, a²=16, b²=9 [ a²>b² ] Eccentricity (e)= 1- b² a² = 1- 9 16 = 7 16 = 7 4 . array
