eccentricity (x^2)/(16)+(y^2)/(12)=1

eccentricity

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal

0.5

Solution steps

= \frac{a ^{2} - b ^{2}}{a}

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{x ^{2}}{16} + \frac{y ^{2}}{12} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 4, b = 23

= \frac{4 ^{2} - ( 2 3 ) ^{2}}{4}

\frac{4 ^{2} - ( 2 3 ) ^{2}}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}
