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

25x2 + 16y2 = 1600

Given the equation of the ellipse is 25x2 + 16y2 = 1600.


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 (b2>a2)



Coordinates of foci (0,±be)


Length of latus rectum =


Here a2 = 64 and b2 = 100, b2>a2







foci = (0,±6)


Length of latus rectum (L) =



The eccentricity is , foci are (0,±6) and length of the latus rectum is .
