Question

what is the eccentricity of (x^2/9)-(y^2/4)=1?

Answer 1

well is it x to the 2 9ths or it it x to the 2 divided by 9

Answer 2

\[\frac{ x^2 }{ 9 }-\frac{ y^2 }{ 4 }=1\] that is the equation

Answer 3

wait I think this is past my level of understanding. I'm sorry and I wish I could help. I don't think I know what eccentricity means. If you still want I could try, if not maybe give the medal to someone else.

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

e = c/a

Answer 6

since it is a hyperbola

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Answer 7

a = 3

b = 2

Answer 8

yeah i figure that much but my answer is wrong i wonder what is the right answer?

Answer 9

c= sqrt (9 +4) = sqrt (13)

e = sqrt(13)/3

Answer 10

well my answer is\[\frac{ \sqrt{5} }{ 3 }\] oh it should \[\sqrt{13}\] not\[\sqrt{5}\] thanks

Answer 11

If it is an ellipse then ur answer is correct

Answer 12

But it is Hyperbola

Answer 13

thanks for clarifying it
