There r exactly 2 points on the ellipse x²/a² =+ y²/b² =1.whose distance from the centre of the ellipse is same and equal to (1/âˆš2 ) x (âˆš(a²+2b²). Find the eccentricity of the elipse.

the points have to be either the ends of major axis or ends of minor axis .

ends of minor axis is not possible since putting the given distance = b , we get a=0 .

hence the two points are the ends of major axis.

a = (1/âˆš2 ) x âˆš(a²+2b²)

a²=2b²

e= 1/âˆš2
