MCQ
Equation $x = a\cos \theta ,\;y = b\sin \theta (a > b)$ represent a conic section whose eccentricity $e$ is given by
  • A
    ${e^2} = \frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{{{a^2}}}$
  • B
    ${e^2} = \frac{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}{{{b^2}}}$
  • ${e^2} = \frac{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2}}}$
  • D
    ${e^2} = \frac{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{b^2}}}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
${e^2} = \frac{{{a^2} - {b^2}}}{{{a^2}}}$
