10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
The eccentricity of the ellipse $25{x^2} + 16{y^2} - 150x - 175 = 0$ is
A
$2\over5$
B
$2\over3$
C
$4\over5$
D
$3\over 5$
Solution
(D) $25{(x – 3)^2} + 16{y^2} = 400$
$\frac{{{{(x – 3)}^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{25}} = 1$
$e = \sqrt {1 – \frac{{16}}{{25}}} = \frac{3}{5}$
