Question:medium
If the foci and vertices of an ellipse are respectively $(\pm 2,0)$ and $(\pm 3,0)$ then its eccentricity is
If the foci and vertices of an ellipse are respectively $(\pm 2,0)$ and $(\pm 3,0)$ then its eccentricity is
Show Hint
Logic Tip: The eccentricity of an ellipse is simply the ratio of the distance to the focus over the distance to the vertex: $e = \frac{ae}{a}$. Reading the coordinates directly gives you the answer instantly: $2 / 3$.
