eccentricity ((x-4)^2)/4+(y^2)/(16)=1

eccentricity

\frac{3}{2}

Decimal

0.86602 \dots

Solution steps

= \frac{b ^{2} - a ^{2}}{b}

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{( x - 4 ) ^{2}}{4} + \frac{y ^{2}}{16} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (4, 0), b = 4, a = 2

= \frac{4 ^{2} - 2 ^{2}}{4}

\frac{4 ^{2} - 2 ^{2}}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}
