NDA2013MathematicsEllipseActual
The equation of the ellipse whose vertices are at ( 5,0) and foci at ( 4,0) is
Options
- Ax^2 25 + y^2 9 =1
- Bx^2 9 + y^2 25 =1
- Cx^2 16 + y^2 25 =1
- Dx^2 25 + y^2 16 =1
Correct answer
A. x^2 25 + y^2 9 =1
Step-by-step solution
aligned & a=5 and a e=4 & e= 4 5 aligned aligned & e^2=1- b^2 a^2 & 16 25 =1- b^2 25 aligned aligned & b^2 25 = 9 25 b^2=9 & x^2 25 + y^2 9 =1 aligned
