Find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci, length of the latus - rectum of the following ellipse:

4x2 + 9y2 = 1

Given the equation of the ellipse is 4x2 + 9y2 = 1.


We need to find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci and length of latus rectum.



Given equation can be rewritten as .


We know for the ellipse (a2>b2)



Coordinates of foci (±ae,0)


Length of latus rectum =


Here and , a2>b2








Length of latus rectum (L) =



The eccentricity is , foci are and length of the latus rectum is .
