eccentricity (x^2)/9+(y^2)/4 =1

eccentricity

\frac{5}{3}

Decimal

0.74535 \dots

Solution steps

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

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{x ^{2}}{9} + \frac{y ^{2}}{4} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 3, b = 2

= \frac{3 ^{2} - 2 ^{2}}{3}

\frac{3 ^{2} - 2 ^{2}}{3} = \frac{5}{3}

= \frac{5}{3}
