Question

What is the eccentricity of the ellipse shown below?

Answer 1

\[\frac{ (x+7)^2 }{ 16 } + \frac{ (y-3)^2 }{ 4 } = 1 \]

Answer 2

sooooo equation .... >\[e=\frac{ c }{ a }\]


and i think (a) would be 16 soo 4 but whats c?

Answer 3

mmmhhh i was wondering if you would know what is C for the eccentricity formula in this ellipse? im not sure if i got a correct as well @zepdrix

Answer 4

C is the focus point I think?
Mmmm I gotta look up ellipse stuff >:U I can't remember

Answer 5

ohhhh ok thennn

Answer 6

by any chance did i get (a) correct would it be 4 or 16

Answer 7

\[\Large\rm \frac{ (x+7)^2 }{ 4^2 } + \frac{ (y-3)^2 }{ 2^2 } = 1\]Ummm I guess it would be 4.

Answer 8

okkk
