What is the equation of the ellipse having foci ( 2,0) and the eccentricity 1 4 ?
Options
- Ax^2 64 + y^2 60 =1
- Bx^2 60 + y^2 64 =1
- Cx^2 20 + y^2 24 =1
- Dx ^2 24 + y ^2 20 =1
Correct answer
A. x^2 64 + y^2 60 =1
Step-by-step solution
foci: ( 2,0), e = 1 4 c =2, e = 1 4 = c a 2 a = 1 4 a =8 We know, a ^2- b ^2= c ^2 b^2=a^2-c^2=8^2-2^2=64-4=60 Eq q^n of ellipse x^2 a^2 + y^2 b^2 =1 x^2 64 + y^2 60 =1
