Question
If the conic is an ellipse and the origin lies on the ellipse, then its eccentricity is(a) $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{9}$(b) $\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}}$(c) $\frac{3}{\sqrt{17}}$(d) $\frac{15}{18}$
Step 1
Since the origin lies on the ellipse, the equation of the ellipse can be written in the form: $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ Show more…
