For the ellipse x^2+4y^2=9 a. the eccen...

For the ellipse `x^2+4y^2=9` a. the eccentricity is 1/2 b. the latus rectum is 3/2 c. a focus is `(3sqrt(3),0)` d. a directrix is `x=-2sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given
`x^{2}+4 y^{2}=9 `
`Rightarrow frac{x^{2}}{9}+frac{y^{2}}{frac{9}{4}}=1`
Here, `a>b`
`therefore e=sqrt{1-frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}} `
...
