  1. Question 1

    Q1. The eccentricity of the ellipse x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 is

    • A) √(1 - b²/a²)
    • B) √(1 + b²/a²)
    • C) √(1 - a²/b²)
    • D) √(a² + b²)

    Answer: √(1 - b²/a²)

    Explanation: Eccentricity e = √(1 - b²/a²) for an ellipse, where a is the semi-major axis and b is the semi-minor axis.
