Answer:
The given equation is
[tex]25x^{2} +4y^{2}=100[/tex]
Which represents an elipse.
To find its elements, we need to divide the equation by 100
[tex]\frac{25x^{2} +4y^{2} }{100} =\frac{100}{100} \\\frac{x^{2} }{4} +\frac{y^{2} }{25} =1[/tex]
Where [tex]a^{2} =25[/tex] and [tex]b^{2}=4[/tex]. Remember that the greatest denominator is [tex]a[/tex], and the least is [tex]b[/tex]. So, we extract the square root on each equation.
[tex]a=5[/tex] and [tex]b=2[/tex].
In a elipse, we have a major axis and a minor axis. In this case, the major axis is vertical and the minor axis is horizontal, that means this is a vertical elipse.
The length of the major axis is [tex]2a=2(5)=10[/tex].
The length of the minor axis is [tex]2b=2(2)=4[/tex].
The vertices are [tex](0,5);(0,-5)[/tex] and [tex](2,0);(-2,0)[/tex].
Now, the main parameters of an elipse are related by
[tex]a^{2}=b^{2} +c^{2}[/tex], which we are gonna use to find [tex]c[/tex], the parameter of the focus.
[tex]c=\sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2} }=\sqrt{25-4}=\sqrt{21}[/tex]
So, the coordinates of each focus are [tex](0,\sqrt{21})[/tex] and [tex](0,-\sqrt{21})[/tex]
The eccentricity of a elipse is defined
[tex]e=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{21} }{5} \approx 0.92[/tex]
The latus rectum is defined
[tex]L=\frac{2b^{2} }{a}=\frac{2(4)}{5} =\frac{8}{5} \approx 1.6[/tex]
Finally, the graph of the elipse is attached.
