  1. Question 1

    Q1. Find the equation of the ellipse with major axis 10 and minor axis 6.

    • A) x²/25 + y²/9 = 1
    • B) x²/9 + y²/25 = 1
    • C) x²/16 + y²/4 = 1
    • D) x²/4 + y²/16 = 1

    Answer: x²/25 + y²/9 = 1

    Explanation: Major axis 2a = 10 ⇒ a=5; minor axis 2b=6 ⇒ b=3 ⇒ x²/a² + y²/b² = 1.
