An ellipse has auxiliary circle (x+2)² + (y-1)² = 25 and director circle (x+2)² + (y-1)² = 34. Find its eccentricity.

  1. 3/5
  2. 4/5
  3. 2/5
  4. 1/5

Correct answer: 4/5

Solution

The auxiliary circle gives a² = 25 and the director circle gives a² + b² = 34, so b² = 9 and e = sqrt(1 - 9/25) = 4/5.
