  • question_answer
    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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[4{{x}^{2}}-8x+{{y}^{2}}+2y+1=0\]                    Þ \[{{(2x-2)}^{2}}+{{(y+1)}^{2}}=-1+4+1\]                    Þ \[\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{1}+\frac{{{(y+1)}^{2}}}{4}=1\] Þ \[e=\sqrt{1-\frac{1}{4}}\] Þ \[e=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\].
