What is the eccentricity of the conic `4x^(2)+9y^(2)=144`?A. `sqrt5/3`B. `sqrt5/4`C. `3/sqrt5`D. `2/3`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Given equation can be written as
`x^(2)/(36)+y^(2)/(16)=1` ltbtgt This is an ellipse.
`rArra^(2)=36, b^(2)=16`
`e=sqrt(1-b^(2)/a^(2))=sqrt(1-16/36)=sqrt(20/36)=(2sqrt5)/6=sqrt5/3`
