eccentricity (x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2)/9 =1

eccentricity

\frac{7}{4}

Decimal

0.66143 \dots

Solution steps

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

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{x ^{2}}{16} + \frac{y ^{2}}{9} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 4, b = 3

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

\frac{4 ^{2} - 3 ^{2}}{4} = \frac{7}{4}

= \frac{7}{4}
