Respuesta :

x=3.25 and x=9.25 is the answer

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The equation of ellipse of the given figure is :

[tex]\dfrac{(x-3)^2}{25}+\dfrac{(y-2)^2}{9}=1[/tex]

So, the major axis = 5 units = a

minor axis = 3 units = b

So, the formula for directrices would be

[tex]x=h\pm \dfrac{a^2}{c}\\\\here,\ c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2}\\\\c=\sqrt{25-9}\\\\c=\sqrt{16}\\\\c=4\\\\x=3+\dfrac{25}{4}\\\\x=9.25\\\\and\\x=3-\dfrac{25}{4}\\\\x=-3.25[/tex]

Hence, the directrices of the ellipse would be

x = 9.25 and x = -3.25

Thus, Second option is correct.
