  1. Question 1

    Q1. The equation of the ellipse with foci at (±c, 0) and major axis 2a is

    • A) x²/a² + y²/b² = 1
    • B) x²/b² + y²/a² = 1
    • C) x²/a² - y²/b² = 1
    • D) x²/b² - y²/a² = 1

    Answer: x²/a² + y²/b² = 1

    Explanation: The standard form of the ellipse equation with major axis along x-axis is x²/a² + y²/b² = 1, where b² = a² - c².
