    Equation of the latusrectum of the ellipse \[9{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}-18x-8y-23=0\text{ }\]are

    A) \[y=\pm \text{ }\sqrt{5}\]     

    B)  \[x=\pm \text{ }\sqrt{5}\] 

    C)         \[y=1\pm 5\]       

    D)         \[x=-1\pm \sqrt{5}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Equation of ellipse is \[9{{x}^{2}}+4{{y}^{2}}-18x-8y-23=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[9({{x}^{2}}-2x+1)-9+4({{y}^{2}}-2y+1)\]                                 \[-4-23=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[9{{(x-1)}^{2}}+4{{(y-1)}^{2}}=36\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{4}+\frac{{{(y-1)}^{2}}}{9}=1\] Here, \[a<b\] Also, \[e=\sqrt{1-\frac{4}{9}}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{9}}=\sqrt{\frac{5}{3}}\] \[\therefore \]Equations of latusrectum are                                 \[y-1=\pm \,3.\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[y=1\pm \sqrt{5}\]
