Find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci, length of the latus – rectum of the following ellipse: (i) 4×2 + 3y2 = 1 (ii) 25×2 + 16y2 = 1600
Find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci, length of the latus – rectum of the following ellipse: (i) 4×2 + 3y2 = 1 (ii) 25×2 + 16y2 = 1600

(i) 

    \[4{{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }3{{y}^{2}}~=\text{ }1\]

Given:

The equation of ellipse

    \[=>\text{ }4{{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }3{{y}^{2}}~=\text{ }1\]

This equation can be expressed as

Length of latus rectum

    \[=\text{ }2{{b}^{2}}/a\]

    \[=\text{ }\left[ 2\left( 1/4 \right) \right]\text{ }/\text{ }\left( 1/\surd 3 \right)\]

    \[=~\surd 3/2\]

Coordinates of foci

    \[\left( \pm ae,\text{ }0 \right)\]
