medium

Eccentricity of the ellipse $4{x^2} + {y^2} - 8x + 2y + 1 = 0$ is

A

$1/\sqrt 3 $

B

$\sqrt 3 /2$

C

$1/2$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) $4{x^2} – 8x + {y^2} + 2y + 1 = 0$

==> ${(2x – 2)^2} + {(y + 1)^2} = – 1 + 4 + 1$

==> $\frac{{{{(x – 1)}^2}}}{1} + \frac{{{{(y + 1)}^2}}}{4} = 1$

==> $e = \sqrt {1 – \frac{1}{4}} $

==> $e = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$.
