The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given line and its relationship with the standard ellipse. ### Step 1: Understand the given line equation The line is given by: \[ 2px + y \sqrt{5 - 6p^2} = 1 \] where \( p \) is in the interval \( \left[-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}, \frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}\right] \). ### Step 2: Rearranging the line equation We can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \) and \( p \): \[ y = \frac{1 - 2px}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}} \] ### Step 3: Identify the slope of the line From the rearranged equation, we can identify the slope \( m \): \[ m = -\frac{2p}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}} \] ### Step 4: Equation of the tangent to the ellipse For a standard ellipse represented by: \[ \frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \] the equation of the tangent line with slope \( m \) is given by: \[ y = mx \pm \sqrt{a^2 m^2 + b^2} \] ### Step 5: Setting the equations equal Since the line touches the ellipse, we equate the two expressions for \( y \): \[ \frac{1 - 2px}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}} = mx + \sqrt{a^2 m^2 + b^2} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the value of \( m \) Substituting \( m = -\frac{2p}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}} \) into the tangent equation: \[ \frac{1 - 2px}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}} = -\frac{2p}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}}x + \sqrt{a^2 \left(-\frac{2p}{\sqrt{5 - 6p^2}}\right)^2 + b^2} \] ### Step 7: Simplifying the equation Cross-multiplying and simplifying gives: \[ 1 - 2px = -2px + \sqrt{a^2 \frac{4p^2}{5 - 6p^2} + b^2} \cdot \sqrt{5 - 6p^2} \] ### Step 8: Collect terms Rearranging leads to: \[ 1 = \sqrt{a^2 \frac{4p^2}{5 - 6p^2} + b^2} \cdot \sqrt{5 - 6p^2} \] ### Step 9: Square both sides Squaring both sides results in: \[ 1 = a^2 \frac{4p^2}{5 - 6p^2} + b^2 \] ### Step 10: Analyze the conditions Since this must hold for all \( p \) in the given range, we can analyze the coefficients of \( p^2 \) and the constant terms separately. ### Step 11: Set up equations From the equation: 1. \( 4a^2 - 6b^2 = 0 \) 2. \( 5b^2 - 1 = 0 \) ### Step 12: Solve for \( b^2 \) From the second equation: \[ b^2 = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Step 13: Substitute \( b^2 \) into the first equation Substituting \( b^2 \) into the first equation: \[ 4a^2 - 6 \cdot \frac{1}{5} = 0 \] \[ 4a^2 = \frac{6}{5} \] \[ a^2 = \frac{3}{10} \] ### Step 14: Calculate the eccentricity The eccentricity \( e \) of the ellipse is given by: \[ e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}} \] Substituting the values: \[ e = \sqrt{1 - \frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{3}{10}}} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{2}{3}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the eccentricity of the standard ellipse is: \[ e = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given line and its relationship with the standard ellipse. ### Step 1: Understand the given line equation The line is given by: \[ 2px + y \sqrt{5 - 6p^2} = 1 \] where \( p \) is in the interval \( \left[-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}, \frac{\sqrt{5}}{6}\right] \). ### Step 2: Rearranging the line equation ...
