The eccentricity of the conics - (x^(2...

The eccentricity of the conics ` - (x^(2))/(a^(2)) +(y^(2))/(b^(2)) = 1 ` is

A

`sqrt((a^(2)+b^(2))/(a^(2)))`

B

`sqrt((a^(2)-b^(2))/(a^(2)))`

C

`sqrt((b^(2)-a^(2))/(a^(2)))`

D

`sqrt((a^(2)+b^(2))/(b^(2)))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let `e` be the eccentricity of `-(x^(2))/(a^(2))+(y^(2))/(b^(2))=1`. Then, `a^(2)=b^(2)(e^(2)-1)impliese^(2)=(a^(2))/(b^(2))+1impliese=sqrt((a^(2)+b^(2))/(b^(2)))`
