Question

The foci of the conic 25x2 +16y2 – 150x = 175 are

Solution

Correct option is

 

The given conic can be re-written as 

      

Shifting the origin at (3, 0) without rotating the coordinates axes,

We have, 

        

The equation of the ellipse with reference to new axes is  

      

Comparing this equation with the standard equation  

      .     

Let e be the eccentricity of the given conic. Then, 

      

         

         

The coordinates of foci with respect to new origin are  

        

Substituting these in (i), we obtain (3, ±3) as the coordinates of foci.
