eccentricity (x^2)/(160)+(y^2)/(16)=1

eccentricity

\frac{3}{10}

Decimal

0.94868 \dots

Solution steps

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

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{x ^{2}}{160} + \frac{y ^{2}}{16} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 410, b = 4

= \frac{( 4 10 ) ^{2} - 4 ^{2}}{4 10}

\frac{( 4 10 ) ^{2} - 4 ^{2}}{4 10} = \frac{3}{10}

= \frac{3}{10}
