  1. Question 1

    Q1. The equation of the ellipse with major axis 6 and minor axis 4 is

    • A) x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 1
    • B) x² / 4 + y² / 9 = 1
    • C) x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 0
    • D) x² / 4 + y² / 9 = 0

    Answer: x² / 9 + y² / 4 = 1

    Explanation: The general equation of an ellipse is x² / b² + y² / a² = 1, where 2a = 6 and 2b = 4, so a = 3 and b = 2
