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

eccentricity

\frac{1}{2}

Decimal

0.5

Solution steps

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

Calculate ellipse properties

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

Ellipse with center

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

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

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

= \frac{1}{2}
