Question

Given the ellipse (x-4)^2/169 + (y+8)^2/100 = 1 and the hyperbola (x-4)^2/169 - (y+8)^2/100 = 1 , which has a greater eccentricity value?

Answer 1

which has greater eccentricity?

Answer 2

i believe eccentricty is a measure of .... c/a

Answer 3

they both have the same "a" measure (169), so it depends on which has the bigger c value

c is the measure of a focus

Answer 4

eccentricity of an ellipse means its a crazier ellipse the further away from being a circle the more eccentric
